My mommy zebra finch isnt sitting on her eggs anymore. what do I do?

Question

Very frequently ive been noticing that one of my finches,Penguin is picking on another one of finches, Jack. (I also have two other finches, Kathy and Sally)

so today I moved Penguin into a tiny cage alone because I noticed some feathers missing from Jack :(

The problem is, Jack and Sally seem to have made some eggs, but Penguin and Sally are the ones sitting on them because Jack is busy fathering a little hatchling with Kathy (whoa confusing i know)

Anyway, I moved Sally and Penguin(along with their nest and eggs) into their own cage and now neither of them are sitting on the eggs

help?

thanks for helping I know I wrote a huge paragraph (sorry)

Answer 1

find a warm plastic box which you can keep fairly humid to put the eggs in and turn the eggs once a day

Answer 2

aww i'm sorry. I think you disturbed the nest, and therefore the parents don't like the smell of humans. they rejected their eggs. It's the same with other birds/animals. my mom had hamsters and she touched the babies, and the mother actually ate some of them!o.o WOW! Scary. But if I were you, i would put them in an incubator. and you should of moved the other finches that hadn't laid eggs. well, maybe next time.

***********BUT THERE IS ONE OTHER THING!!!!

I own finches and they have laid eggs. But i don't think that it's because you touched the nest. Because I have handled the eggs our finches laid before and they had no problem. maybe it's because they are scared still from moving into a new cage? Because i read that you CAN handle the finch eggs.

Answer 3

since you disturbed them they have probably rejected the eggs.

it may be too late but you could move them to an incubator

Answer 4

put it in a box covered in layers of riped newspaper or something soft.

put it under a light that gets heat easily.it should keep the eggs warm enough.
