White eggs? Infertile?
White eggs? Infertile?
Hello. I am a newbie to these zebras so here is my question. I just aquired 10 3-4 yr old zebras from a friend and had them for 2 weeks now. My question is I found about 10 eggs outside a cave 2 nights ago. To me they were infertile because they were white. Is it possible that the female just dropped these eggs because of stress due to the move? Has anyone experience this before?
Zebra eggs are not as yellow as say, bristlenose. Hopefully you put the eggs in an incubator and kept water flowing over them. They might really be fertile. If they were truly white and decay over the coming days, odds are good the male kicked them out because he hadn't fertilized them. Sometimes that can happen because the female has held them too long internally, or so I've been told, but the fact that you have eggs at all is a VERY good sign for the future .
