Incubating and hatching eggs chat thread!!

They aim their little furry behind up and out and spray poop

Males mark with urine but I've never had poop sprayed from sugar gliders. It should be like hamster droppings but smaller.

Edited to add: when you are their bonded owner, they may dance aon you and Mark you but it's a dribble of urine. Meh, it wasn't often.

They'll be fine Annjee

Hope you're right. Ugh to lose the whole freaking hatch, since all the Mille Fleur were clears. Anything from your Bobs?

Nothing on the bobs.
The SG I had would spray poop a ft up the wall ABOVE it's cage. Nastiest critter I ever saw. When I called my cousin to ask what the **** was going on the roaring laughter immediately clued me in as to WHY he gave it to me. I still owe him for THAT ONE.

Wow... first, must be a male... second curious what the diet was... are you sure it wasn't urine? I can't even imagine poop being sprayed by them.

They shouldn't be alone, either. There should be at least 2 together.

Sorry about the Bobs . Do you candle for movement? Or just wait it out? I know certain days are more critical thank others. I have read days 11-14 for chickens.

I know some of the problems with this batch of D'uccle eggs when they arrived... 2 were glowing red on arrival, not yellow. So thinking they had some heat at some point. But, I've taken eggs that were incubated under broodies and successfully incubated after 24 hours, unaware. However, started, stopped, restarted obviously has inherent risks.

POOP. I don't candle. Nothing hatching.

Lmao, blech... be hard not to strangle the thing!

Sorry... anything else in the next bator?
