Hello all. Purchased a probable pair of cristoballs a few weeks ago and low and behold I found 3 different egg clutches a few days ago. Only one cultch is fertile. I already see the small tadpole developing! My question is do you just leave the non fertile eggs alone? do they just stay on the broom leaf forever?

dont worry nematodes will come eat them

Yes, just leave them. If they are infertile they will either mold/decompose, be eaten by worms/springtails, or dry out and shrivel/disappear. It may take some false starts, but they should get better at not giving bad clutches. Good luck with the tadpoles!
