Bottom of egg dented badly?

[johnnyboy4783]

I noticed the bottom of two of my eggs starting to dent added a little moisture vermiculite do you think the will bounce back or no? Any Suggestions???

How long have the eggs been incubating?

I've seen some pretty miraculous things with dented eggs........good luck. Just don't add too much water, add just a smidge, or even use a wet paper towel.

Only 2 weeks!? I moved them in to some moister vermiculite and put moist paper towel over top of them. They still candled pink, but who knows. How long should i leave the moist papertowel on them do you think?

anyone else? Any have any advice for me??

i wouldnt leave the paper towel in there too long,

how long have the eggs been incubating, if over 2-3 weeks you should be able to candle them. this will let you know how hard you gonna have to fight to keep the eggs good until they can hatch.

ive had a few eggs dent on top, but never on the bottom. you are keeping the eggs the same side up they were layed correct?

Yes i mark them when they were laid they are upright. they both candle pink only the one is really dented badly, but it still candels pink!? i took paper towel off of them i am gonna let the go for a week with the vermiculite re done, for some reason it dried out. i will see if it plumos back up or not.

I had dented egss last season. I mouisture vermiculit around them a little bit and cover them with it (like 3/4). They filled up in two days and I hatched 2 awesome geckos form them. Good luck:main_thumbsup:

Thanks that makes me feel alot better. thats pretty much what i did. so you think if i check and 2 days if they are the same should i assume eggs are bad

Nope, don't assume anything.........make sure the vermiculite is moist (but not too moist), if it's fertile it will likely be just fine.

Debbie is right. make sure the moisture is right and let them incubate until they hatch or grow a beard and stink.
