Excellent information, thank you! I have not received nor shipped hatching eggs so this was super educational. A lot of my questions were answered, thanks again!

He may not have been properly cared for while in the sales cage and may have been without water for quite a while.

If you have some plain, unsweetened yogurt, it will help him with the stress of his last week.  Also, maybe put some vitamins/electrolytes in his water (or even better, use unpasteurized apple cider vinegar).  You could wet his feed to be sure he's getting enough moisture.

Thank you for the advice! I thought he was all better but i think its happening again. He's drinking water but maybe he needs something extra in his?? Ill try those things and see if it helps. I appreciate all the advice from everyone!
