incubating eggs --shrinkage ??

[borntobnude]

HI our stimsons eggs are 53 days and starting to look somewhat prune like with a visible dark mass inside 9 so I assume they are maybe still good )
question is how much do they shrink and does it affect the bubs ?

thanks

It is normal for them to shed water and shrivel up to a degree towards the end, as long as they still look whitish they should be fine.

thanks , first time parents so we have been keeping a close eye but was just curious , 11 little stimmies should be good !!

Just keep drying the tub out and don't let condensation drip from the top of the container onto the eggs. (Depending on what incubation method you are using)

they have shrinkage before they hatch. The dark is the hatchling inside. So all good......
