If the eggs do go full term, it is possible that you may have some deformed babies due to the pine bedding.

Everything we do with these animals is a learning experience. So, even if you lose the eggs, chalk it up to experience, and know that you know what to do next time. Good luck, and keep us posted.
This plus the fact that the egg's are semi-pores as as suck the wood shaving could have been drawing some of the moisture out of the egg's. Best of luck with with these egg's I hope things turn out for you.
