So...when one clutchmate hatches....

And decides to flip and roll his clutchmate who is still an egg to the oppostie side of the contianer, think the one in the egg will still be ok?


I found the egg vertical in a hole his clutchmate dug. I replaced to it's proper side but i think it may have been moved for at least a few hours.
You guys think it will be ok since it should be hatching soon?

Sarah, I have had this happen also. 99 times out of 100 the other egg hatches just fine if you manage to put it back into it's origional position. Let us know how it turns out.

Sibling rivalry at its earliest and most primitive... I hope your other egg is still ok too. Dang those little leos. I picture him digging a hole and shoving the egg in.

I hope it hatches for you! And post pics of the little egg shover lol

Thanks Jeremy, I hope i got it back in the right position, the mark had faded , i think i used on of my daughters markers that day. The last clutch hatched a day apart so hopefully I will know by tomorrow if all is well.

Haha, that made me laugh I can picture it too.
They are acually AFTs, I knew I would get a faster reponse here. I've acually have never had a Leo do that, I had one that dug a huge hole in the perlite down to the bottom of the container but she had the decensy to leave her sister alone aside from buring her.

Hey Sarah I have had that happen as well. Will most likely be fine. Hey I want to see those pics of the Bells I sent ya!
