Why are turtle eggs so soft?

2023-05-15 15:52:30 674

Softening of turtle eggs may be caused by many reasons. Here are some common reasons:


1. Poor eggshell quality: Poor eggshell quality of turtle eggs may cause the eggshells to become soft. This is usually due to the female turtle being malnourished when laying eggs, or the breeding environment is improper, such as lack of calcium, vitamins and other elements.


2. Too high temperature or too high humidity: If the temperature or humidity in the incubator is too high, it will cause the turtle eggs to become soft. This is because too low oxygen and too high carbon dioxide levels in the incubator can also affect the development of turtle eggs.


3. Incubation time is too long: If the turtle eggs are incubated for too long, the water in the eggs may evaporate, causing the egg shell to become soft.


4. Infection or bacterial invasion: If the turtle egg is infected or bacterial invasion, the tissue inside the turtle egg may break down, causing the egg shell to become soft.


In view of the softness of turtle eggs, it is recommended to contact the nearest local regular pet hospital in time and seek professional advice to learn more relevant information. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature, humidity, oxygen content and other indicators of the incubation environment are within the appropriate range, and pay attention to the quality and storage methods of the turtle eggs so that they can hatch in the best condition.
