mold growing on sponges in incubator HELP!

[jjtrucker]

My eggs are on lock down and I have one chick piping but I just noticed some white fuzzy stuff on my sponges and I think it is mold. What should I do?

If you have one of those small room humidifiers (to use when sick) I would plug it in, get the humidity up in the room and I would remove the sponge. Mold is good for neither man nor beast.

You could probably get your bathroom really steamy, with enough humidity to be safe to replace that sponge with a new clean one.

As long as your humidity is up in the bator (70+), crack it open and quickly pull it out. Do you have any new ones or a cloth you can wet and replace them with?
