Hello,

I would appreciate it if someone could offer some info/help.

Today, upon my usual checking of the beardie eggs, I found little smaller than a pinhead sized white bugs on one of my eggs. It looks like they had either come out of the egg itself of were feasting on that egg.

I immediately checked the other eggs and changed the vermiculite.

Any idea what they might have been and how to keep them away?

Also,

In my incubator I am using Tupperware containers with the lid just resting on the top the container, would it be advisable to make a small hole or two in the lid itself, or keep it as is?

Many thanks,

Yes as b22 says, wash them gently under running water, and if an egg looks no good or has a hole in it, there is your problem, fresh substrate under, i do not cover mij eggs at all, i did once had got mite, but if you leave them open, they seem to do better. With a lid on they can get too wet, and this can also lead to problems. good luck.
