its unfortunate, but it happens. my first eggs were fried in an incubator when the guy i asked to incubate them decided that his beardie temps would be fine for my eggs too. the second group of eggs were taken by mold. the next group hatched early, and refused to eat anything. it takes a little practice, your babies tend to be as fragile as the few month olds from petco etc. they toughen up quick though, im breeding my second generation animals this year.
