HELP...My incubator is broken.......

Colorfulcorns May 08, 2007 08:02 PM

My hova-bator incubator made a"popping' sound and now it won't turn on....
Can you buy replacement supplies for them? If so where?

it may be cheaper to just buy a new hovabator.. i think they sell for around $45. from the dry good vendors here on kingsnake

or if you are in a real hurry you can try a farm supply store (depends on where you live) They usually have egg incubators and possibly even hovabators themselves. Saves on shipping too. I am building my own and it seems more simple to me than buying a hovabator. Just grab a 10 gallon tank and an aquatic heater, set it at 80-85, fill 1/2 way and add a brick and the eggs....

I personally recomend having lids over the eggs and also, having the water touch the bottom of the egg container. If you got too deep you will float it but the bottom should be in the water so that you have better control over the temps...
