Fuzzed eggs

[Traxolotl]

I recently got some dobro eggs, well they all have fuzz. The fuzz isnt all over and the larvae is pretty far along in development. Does this mean they're dead? :*(

sorry to say, but usually mold enters the egg after the baby has died. In the future remove a fuzzy egg the second you see it so that it does not effect the other eggs around it.

i removed every egg as soon as it fuzzed

Theres one egg that i can tell the fungus hasnt made it into the egg yet and its grown. what are the chances that it will make it?

It's hard to say what its chances are. How many eggs did you start with? Were they eggs laid by your own animals, or from someone else?

I assume you know... 50% of eggs of crested newts (including dobrogicus) are supposed to fuzz and die (after they begin development), right? That's normal. If they all fuzz and die, then it's either really bad statistical luck, or you got the eggs from someone else (and I can explain why this would tend to happen when eggs are harvested and sent).
