RE:New Redfoot Eggs!

manbart Oct 13, 2004 12:19 AM

Tonight I went to shut off the lights in my indoor redfoot pen, and I found three eggs! I've had my two redfoots for about 10years, and for the past 1 1/2 I've seem them having breeding activity. I took the eggs out of their pen and put them in a rubbermaid container. I used moistened spagnum moss as substrate and put a moist paper towel over the top of the container. Tonight I also ordered a hovabator thermal air flow incubator from big apple. I figure it will be better to maintain a temperature. Right now I have the rubbermaid in an aquarium that is currently about 78-80 degrees Anyone have any comments or suggestions what I can do with these eggs to give best chance of hatchlings?

Thanks

congratulations on your first batch!
...just a word on them hovabator especially the one with turbo fan as such, there was a caution on them as they may overheat/malfunction...the thermal regulator on them also needs replace quite often to keep it accurate, we found this is quite the opposite since the one we had in use has going on flawless for quite sometime (three years at least) which is a bit of a surprise...
i leave the rest to all RF folks out there before they're getting really RF (RedindaFace...no offend i hope?)
