Aye, unfertilized lack vitamin A which could cause a deficiency...
I've never thought to leave the shell on though, should be interesting.. Personally I just use boiled eggs as exercise toys/treats for the Sav, she won't get up and run otherwise, but when she chases after the egg that keeps slipping out of her mouth.. She gets a nice work out

How would we know if it hurts them? But I would guess it wouldn't hurt any more than the bones in other prey.
