Unfertilized Eggs.. when to remove them??

[lovemylittleyoshi]

Hello,

My beardie has laid her 3rd batch of eggs within the past 2 months. She just laid about 15, and she keeps trying to cover them up. I would like to know if I can remove the eggs right now or wait until she settles down. The last two times she didn't try to bury them. She has pushed her blanket, fake cactus plant, and water dish in the corner and she is still digging... trying to push her rock over there. Does anyone know if I can remove the unfertilized eggs while she is watching?? Thanks!!

It is fine to remove them.

Sounds like it would calm her down anyways :mrgreen:

What a good mama. Trying her best to do anything she can to cover up her eggs :love5:

I always waited until they were finished covering them up, but I'd also help with the covering up & then remove them for a bath & food. Before I put them back in their tank (I had 2 females laying eggs every other month at one point), I'd remove the eggs. But my females would only lay eggs in a separate lay box, not in their tanks, so it was easier for me. Try helping her cover them up. I don't know if it would upset her if you took them out right away. They're funny about their eggs, it's just instinct to cover them up. Let us know!
