Rhino eggs

np27 Aug 25, 2007 09:46 PM

I have a couple of questions?

What is the youngest anyone has ever breed rhinos and suscessfully hatched out babies?
If you see red veins inside an egg does that mean it is fertile?
What is the worst looking egg anyone has ever hatched out a baby rhino?

i belive its 2-2.5 yrs depends on how healthy she is ....

She is a healthy young lady. She'll be 7 years old in November.
I'm wondering if anyone has incubated any nasty looking cyclura eggs and got them to hatch? I'm a little worried I might have thrown away some possibly good eggs.

I have never had a female Cyclura of any type lay eggs that hatched at less than 3 years old. That being said most have not laid eggs that hatched at less than 4 years old. That seems to be the mark for me. I would never count on a female producing offspring at less than four in general. Best to give them as much time a needed to get ready for the BIG EVENT! As it can take a lot out of them. Best Regards Douglas Beard / Flora & Fauna

Thanks that makes me feel a little better. Do you have clutches that a high percentage have died while incubating or am I doing something totaly wrong?
