Polleni Pair With Eggs

[Cammo X]

Hey guys,

Our Polleni Pair randomly had their first spawn lastnight, unfortunatly the female was stressed and she was eating the eggs, we managed to save a few.
Next time should we leave the babies in there if shes not stressed? or take them out? They are alone in a 3x2x2 so we can leave them in there if it's better.

Thought you might enjoy a video.
Cheers

My females would always eat the eggs. I'd remove them.

Hmm a lot of people are saying remove the eggs or the female. I might try again leaving them in and watch, then take them out if anything happens.

What was stressing her to make her act like that?

I'm not too sure tbh, she started acting very defensive and just started eating them on the spot, nothing changed that we could see.
