Mercy please, I'm a noob. Are my wrinkled eggs salvagable?
Hi,
I filled out the BP.ner Forum questionnaire below, but here is a quick summary:
I bought one male, one female 7 years ago for my kids.
They have been calm, healthy, wonderful pets the whole time. We combined them into the same cage last year and they 7 laid eggs Aug 1st.
I have been busy with work and haven't had the time to properly care for them. 5 are brown. 2 of them look kind of viable. The two hopeful ones are a little wrinkled. Are they viable?
