Today I switched my eggs into new containers but in the same incubator.is that ok to do to the eggs they will be ok right? the reason I changed them is because all my hatchlings have been digging up other eggs and it was creating a problem. Any help appreciated.

ThanksTY

I've switched containers with no problems. Obviously you just don't want to turn the eggs, and disturb them as little as possible, that's all. Something another poster taught me is that you should put the new container in the incubator for a day or so before transferring the eggs. That way they don't experience any temperature fluctuation while the medium in the new container is warming up.

I just started using these Sterilite Ultra Seal containers I found at Target. They're working great, and they have a little plug on top so you can easily do an air exchange without opening the lid.

Ditto what Jason said. Just make sure to put the container in the cooker a day or two before doing the change.
