I don't know what to tell you. This is a normal thing that happens when they hathc so far apart. It's like basic mothering instincts take over and she will abandon the rest to take care of the babies she already has!!

I just looked at the first 3 pages of the Incubating & Hatching Eggs section and couldn't find anything!! Have you thought about maybe trying to lay it in a towel on a heating pad to keep it warm. And maybe keeping a damp cloth inside the towel... I'm just throwing things out here have no experience!!

I don't either, but I would put in a small box with the towel snuggled around it, a light over it, the egg wrapped in a wet paper towel (not covering the pip)and a thermometer to watch the temp so it doesn't get too high, maybe the heating pad under the box. Do you hear noises from it if tapped gently or peeped to?
