Well im having a few problems with some corn eggs. i know its hard to believe. i have humidity at 87% and the eggs are in a big clump or pile. the ones on the top look a little dehydrated but the others on the bottom look great. is there anything i can do to rehydrate these eggs on the top? I have never had these problems before. let me know.

Thanks
Jordan

How far along are the eggs? Sometimes during the last week or 2 they will start to get that look & are just fine as long as the levels are proper. You can always place some damp spagnum moss around them to moisten them up a bit as well. Mark I.

Mine on the top of the clump were quite dented in when I removed them but I now keep a paper towel over the clump loosely....its not really resting on eggs to much. And I have a tiny corner dipped a half inch into the water dish. It sucks it out slowly and only putting a small corner in doesnt let it drown anything. It has worked really well for me so far (First time I have had eggs though mind you!) , and I have heard others use this method with sucess also.

My humidity level is 80% and I cannot possible get it any higher. I have tried everything. That's why I put the paper towel thingie in with them. They look great now.

Ha. Don't thank me! It wasn't my idea, I just have read many many other more experienced people advise to try it out. It worked wonders for me so far. (day 30 today!)

:) Good luck!!!
