Thanks for reaching out. Artificially incubating the eggs is an option but an incubator must be purchased as the eggs need a very consistent temperature/humidity and need to be rotated often. Do you know when the female female started sitting on the eggs? Not necessarily when she laid them. They will lay every 48 hours to a clutch size and then start to incubate. A veterinary visit will be needed to investigate medical reasons for infertility on the male and female. Good luck.
