I hadn't thought about that Micki, I guess since I just have Dawn and it doesn't pertain to me I didn't really think about it. But I think they are so small and as long as the shell isn't cracked I wouldn't think they would smell. I know at my mother-in-law's around Easter the boiled/painted eggs sit around for awhile in decorative baskets and I can't smell anything.

I found the post fascinating, as well as enlightening. I know I tended to give Dawn lots of head scritchies, and didn't cover her cage at night
