Hey guys, when you're doing a staggered hatch, do you clean out the Hatcher before putting new eggs in it? That sounds like a silly question but I haven't left enough time between batches I guess and I still have a few latecomers and I need to put some more in but it's a little messy from the last few hatching. Should I try to wip the mat out, clean it and put it back? Or do you think they'll be fine?
I would do my best to get rid of any remnants left behind from the last batch. The bacteria levels will be pretty high. I wipe mine out with bleach. So long as you are not at lockdown it should be safe.
