How Long Do Honeycomb Eggs Take to Hatch?

Post by BrynnaCC »

Hello,

New to this forum, but I don't think my usual forums will know this. One of my honeycomb cats just had her first batch of eggs. I left some in her cave, and put some into an egg tumbler, as I suspect the other cats will eat them sooner or later. I'm wondering how many days their eggs usually take to hatch? I've read the Shane's World article on breeding but it doesn't seem to mention how long the eggs take.

Any further tips would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi BrynnaCC,

Welcome to PlanetCatfish. As to your question, honeycomb or oil cat () eggs hatch in 4-5 days usually.

Besides the Shane's World article, there are several breeding logs (BLOGs) at the bottom of the species page (use the link above).

Good luck!
