Yes it is true eggs dont get cut in the wild and they survive. But how many dont? In the wild they dont live in ideal conditions and they survive. Yet we spend all this time and money making sure everything is perfect. In the wild no one is there to treat for parasites and bugs yet we do in captivity. Just because a species has survived in the wild isnt the greatest argument to dictate captive tactics. Yes i agree impatience is a driving force with cutting eggs but it also stacks the odds in your favor for more good then bad outcomes. More babies die from drowning and twisted cords then they do from bacteria forming in the cut egg. Plus if you do it in day 52 to 58 they arent gonna hang out too long in there and if they stay in over 4 days then kick em out of their home. They will be just fine.
