Question Vermiculite drying up

I know that this has proberly been asked a million times but i'm a bit worried.
The vermiculite in my egg tank where my beardies eggs are incubating has dried up in the centre. It is still moist around the edges. How do i get moisture back into it?
They're incubating at 29. They have two and a half weeks to go.
Please someone help.......

As long as the sides of the container is alittle wet to touch and the eggs are full and not sinking in leave it as is. If it is really dry you can add small amounts of water by using a syringe and adding it to the vermiculite.

There is an easy way to get the water back into the vermiculate, there is a thing called a water tap and when turned anti clockwise releases water.
Maybe just a touch of warm water as well to make it tepid
