Stuck together?

[sablebeauty]

So, my eggs are stuck together. They're still soft and I dont want to pull them apart (obviously) cause I dont want to bust them or anything.

I was just wondering if any of you have had this happen before and if your eggs ended up being okay?

When do the eggs start to get hard? They have weight to them but will they come apart? Ack. This is how I took them out of the substrate....

I have had this happen several times. Sometimes I can pull them apart without breaking the eggs. But if it seems too fragile to break apart then I just incubate them together. They still hatch just fine with the 2 eggs together.

Plus it is more difficult for the eggs to roll over when they are stuck together....

It doesn't hurt them at all to incubate stuck together unless one begins to grow mold or otherwise goes bad. That's why it's a good idea to try to get them apart once they firm up. It can be tricky, and you must be patient to avoid damage.
