Nothing is happening! Should I help them?

[Corey NC]

Today is day 21 but since these are seramas I was aiming for a day 19 hatch.

I haven't hear any peeping and I am getting very worried. They were moving on day 18 when I candled them.

Should I take them out and candle them? If they haven't internally pipped should I pip for them?

The temps are fine but I can't seem to keep the humidity up. I'll add water and get it to a nice 70% then a few hours later it is down to 55%.

the same for me i do not know what to do

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

Please leave them alone. give them an extra couple of days then if you want you can check to see what happened

 

[MissPrissy]

Leave them alone. It could be a slow or late hatch.

Sit on your hands and do not open that bator.

 

[Corey NC]

But what if I wait too long to help them.

I just wish they'd peep so I could know that their ALIVE!

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

what I do with mine is put my ear next to the bator. If I can hear the shaking in the bator then they are doing well. sometimes it takes a while for them to move. Please. You dont want to risk loosing the whole hatch

[hypnofrogstevie]

I know how you feel

 

[MissPrissy]

If they haven't pipped by day 22 you can pip the air cell. Just to be sure they will breath.

As far as the eggs themself if they haven't pipped I don't help a hatch. It means something was wrong anyway.

Be patient. It takes time. Just because nothing happens instantly on day 21 doesn't mean everything is lost or in trouble.

Hang tight.

I need to get out of the house now.
