Egg broke

[Kimberley480]

So i have some eggs in the incubator. And one of the eggs broke and the baby is completely out of the egg. The yolk is still attached and the baby is fully formed. The baby is still moving so I put it in a sterile container on some damp paper and put it back in the incubator.
What else can I do?

Ps. The eggs are around the date they could hatch each moment.

@Claudiusx @AHBD or @CooperDragon probably the best qualified to help you.

Can you post a picture?

What you are doing right now is what I'd do. By yolk still attached, do you just mean to the stomach area?

Yes, the yolk is still attached to the stomach area.
So there is a little substrate on the baby. And I don't know if I can clean it off or what else I can do.
I still see the little heart beating.

I agree with Claudius, you're doing what needs to be done for this baby. Keep it moist and warm and hopefully part of it will be absorbed but since it's huge there will be a significant piece that just falls off. The baby will be very fragile, there's a chance that it won't make it but it might surprise you.

Come on lil guy/gal you can do it !!!!

Unfortunately, the baby didn't make it . But thanks for all the help. And let's hope the other eggs will hatch without any problems

 

[AHBD]

Aw, poor little one. It didn't develop quite enough and was too weak + small. Hoping that the rest are healthy !

 

[Claudiusx]

That's too bad. They are very fragile at that stage. Not much you can do besides hope they pull through.

Hopeful that the rest of your clutch comes out well. Who are the parents?

The parents are the beardies from my neighbor.

Hello,

I am so sorry, poor little one. Unfortunately that does happen but it rips out your heart when
it does.
