First I want to say CONGRATULATIONS to Terry for successfully hatching out e. persica,they must be neat!Unfortuntely the same thing happened to me with my mandarin rat hatching,,waited too long to slice open a mandarin rat egg that looked like it was going bad...I hatched out 5 healthy neonates[e. mandarina] out of x 7 eggs,x2 eggs,one that was dried up moldy-looking[cut that one open to find a undeveloped embryo,inside dried up yolk],the other I waited almost two days,2 days too late,a fully developed mandarin stillborn in the egg with the head facing towards the top of the egg,I guess the dried up appearence of the eggshell hardened the egg enough so the neonate couldn't cut through,no deformity noted.I would for now on slice all eggs when the 1st few eggs are pipped around 44+ days,for peace of mind,any agreement or disagreements to this.Dave
