i know the feeling this has been my first year breeding and have not had the best run of luck - 2 babies dead in eggs, 3 dead after emerging from eggs and 10 eggs bad in incubator i have had the same thoughts about not breeding as i didnt know how many more little bodies i could deal with it really is heartbreaking to lose them.

as you said sometimes you need to do something to help them, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt but at least you know you gave the wee ones the best chance at life. i hope your luck changes soon, mine has recently and it totally makes up for all the crappy stuff to have little babies doing well, but the thought of that doesnt make any difference when you are faced with another little baby that didnt make it. keep your chin up and keep trying, you will get there eventually and it is worth all the heartache when things turn out right xx
