calm down. this happens alot. just keep taking care of the eggs properly. that egg probably will go brown and die in a few days. theres nothing you can do except continuing to take care of the eggs.

There's nothing you really can do. It's more usuall that they will hatch within a few days of collapsing but not unheard of to take longer. Just wait it out (I know, it's a loooong wait) and it will happen. Whatever you do, DO NOT try slitting the egg, you will almost gaurentee death if you do.

what is the humidity? it needs to be about 50% if not eggs tend to cave in. if humidity is low add water but never directly onto an egg.
