Hiya,

I have 4 cave gecko eggs and 2 crestie eggs in one tub, two of the cave eggs were moved by one of the crestie hatchlings....The cave gecko eggs were laid 10/4 and 10/5. Are these likely to be affected so much that they die? or are they far enough on that they might be ok? I am so sad Sad I hope they make it. I don't mark the top of the eggs so I am not sure if they were pushed or rolled...

Any help would be appreciated.

Anna

I think it is the later stages of incubation that moved eggs are effected, there is little you can do now. What you can do in future to reduced the chance of this happening again is to place the eggs in the box about 2 inches from the sides as its the side where the newborns normal dig.
Hope they hatch out for you, goodluck! Very Happy
