Egg substrate issue

[joprukop22]

My favorite girl just layed her eggs. The substrate is currently a mix of sand, soil, and perlite. However, I just noticed that the perlite I got has been enriched with MiracleGrow. I have a bad feeling about it and I think it might be harmful to the developing embryo. Any comments? Any knowledge?

yeah you want to remove them from that asap. You should not use any type of fertilizer for your eggs to incubate in. You should use vermiculite or non-fertilized perlite, or a 50/50 mix of both.

I agree, you don't want that in there.
