sinking eggs help!!!!
right,
wasn't expecting eggs for a week or so but they came this morning, anyway, i get them straight into the incubator and they have sunk a little in the top, i am put more moisture to the vermiculite but is there anything else i can do to help them? basically, whats the chance that i have lost the eggs and whats the best thing i can do to give them a better survival chance? btw best to mention they are leo eggs

hi it is basically due to them becoming dehydrated.
by adding more moisture to vermic will do all u need. dont give up hope this can happen and eggs still hatch

Personally I don't think it's much to worry about...and possibly not dehydration.
Eggs tend to dent/dimple around a week before they hatch...which ties in with what you said...

If you have readjusted your water ratio...once the tub you have eggs in heats up, and the lid starts to condensate...eggs will fill back up! beware having vermiculate too wet though...embryos can drown, eggs can swell too much, or mould will grow! Good luck!
