Katt, I've been there. Sorry you have to live it too. Every year my Miami female will lay her 2nd clutch UNDER the nest box. Sometimes I find it right away sometimes not. Anyway, I think if you would have put them directly into some very moist sphagnum moss they would have filled in and been fine. I have done that to countless eggs with some amazing results. Last year a yellow rat (wc someone brought me) layed without any warning on newspaper substrate. It was easily 3 days before I noticed there were eggs in the corner of her box. I put the dried, shriveled, hard eggs in some wet sphagnum and in 2-3 days--voila! All but 2 hatched.
