    Re: Bp eggs sinking

    Id give it a couple days and see if a baby pips on its own. Drench that substrate to make the eggs softer and easier to pip/cut. If you have to cut them just keep a wet paper towel draped over the eggs so the baby does not try to get out before absorbing the yolk. A couple of them may not make it. I had a clutch last year that had a few like that and the ones that were completely sunken in didnt make it. This year I got a new incubator and when I do the substrateless method I soak the hatchrite to the point of seeing standing water just at the surface of it.

    Oh if you do have to cut them be sure to candle first. Thats a tight fit in thse collapsed eggs and you want to be sure you are not cutting in an area where a baby is sitting.
