well i was looking for eggs and i came across some eggs that were a bit dried out. i figured ok now is as good a time to test the super hatch because if they go bad it's no big deal.

here it the product

repashy superhatch

here it is dry

i then added water to the superhatch. i let it sit for about ten minutes. i drained all the rest of the water out and added my eggs to it.

ok i just checked
1) the eggs plumped back up
2) the top of the super hatch seems dry (i do not know if this is normal)
3) i candled the eggs and they look fertile

that is all for now, just have to wait and see when and if the babies hatch and see if the super hatch is too dry in that case i will add water.

* about a week ago i checked on the eggs and i covered them up completely with the super hatch (they still looked a bit dry). just now when i check them they seemed fine. i am going to leave them partially uncovered at least for now.

depends on the size of the container but i generally fill between 1/2 - 2/3 of the container. i use deli cups

so far eggs are plump and look fertile. no dents or anything. over thirty days so we will see, not too far from the hatching time :)

Cool. I love super hatch. So much better than anything I've ever used, and I've tried perlite, vermiculite, and hatch rite
