Guys. Advice please.
We've had a clutch of veiled cham eggs hatching over a few weeks. Then we got no more new ones. I had a close look at the eggs today and found many that had collapsed ready to hatch were full of tiny white bugs.
We have a second clutch in the same incubator due in a few months.
I've recovered, brushed and placed the good eggs in fresh vermiculite and binned those clearly collapsed and infested.
The dilemma I have is that there was only a partial barrier between the two clutches. (there is now!). I am considering removing and brushing the second clutch and replacing them in fresh vermiculite.
Any other suggestions on this would be much appreciated.
regards
ric
