Inter cloaca egg deflation

ChristopherD Jul 19, 2007 07:15 AM

this morning i figured my female black milk was bound up since 6 eggs arrived 3 days ago ,in the past i let nature take its coarse only to have them harden and remain inside ,since this egg was 1"from cloacai used my sm. ball tip probe w/ lube and went in .I actually"scraped" the outside of the egg and it still wouldnt budge so feeling i had the probe center on the end of the egg i popped it and squeezed the liquid out of the cloaca,cleaned her up a bit and put her back in her cage stll has 3 floating egg in line behind the popped egg,should i now let her do the rest?

with that opening relaxed you should have palpitated the others out. Now she will tighten up and keep them in. Swelling from the procedure does not help either.
