Fertilised platypus eggs stay in the mother's body for around 28 days. The egg is incubated by the mother curling around it and keeping it warm and dry in the chamber of the burrow for another 10 days.

Where should eggs be stored if they cannot be set right away?

While gathering eggs to be incubated you need to keep the eggs in a cool, humid place. You do not want or need to refrigerate the eggs, just keep them under 60 degrees F. You will also need to keep the humidity level as high as possible without wetting the eggs. Do not gather for more than 7 days as after this time even well stored eggs will lose viability.

Do mammals have a watertight egg?

The only mammals which lay eggs (monotremes) are the platypus and the echidna. These two monotremes lay soft, leathery eggs. The eggs will keep out water to some extent, but they are not watertight. Nor do they need to be - both animals incubate their young on land, not in the water.

What is the gestational period for a cricket?

Crickets lay eggs. After mating, the cricket will take about 4-7 days to "nest" and then lay their eggs. The eggs need to be incubated in the "nest" about 2-3'' deep. This means you must give them enough "nesting" material to create it this far down. It will take around 7-10 days for the eggs to incubate and eventually produce baby crickets
