To give my interpretation on what happens to eggs- well... um... I thought I'd have something smarter to say, to make it seem good, but, let's be real: the eggs are being aborted.

In theory, (despite fandom such as BM:O) the eggs can't hatch without incubating, however, the eggs don't die if they are left in the Breeder for too long. Remember, the Monsters don't actually have to eat; eating simply increases their level (although Monsters have been shown to really enjoy food, and, in one case, get full.)

Anyways, since we know that the monsters don't die of starvation or dehydration, not to mention old age, we can safely infer that they're immortal.

Or are they!?! How do you explain this?

Yes, death is a very real element of this game. So, to answer the question again, what happens to eggs when they're zapped!?!

Well, I'd say that there are three possibilities here:

POSSIBLY #1: This is the same as abortion. Sadly, this is probably the most likely explanation. Now, since the Monster fetuses (never thought I'd say that in MSM context) have probably yet to develop, you could argue that this isn't a bad thing, and that no life was taken. You could also, however, argue that, while a life wasn't ended, it was still prevented. Anyways, this is just as controversial as human abortion, and I don't really want to give my opinion.

POSSIBILITY #2: They are taken to an alternate, Supernatural place, where they eventually hatch and live happily. This is a very likely possibility, and would be perfectly on theme. This option could also be used to explain Wubbox and its Rare!

POSSIBILITY #3: They are taken to someone else's game. Now, this one is very unlikely, but consider the following: (cue Bill Nye)

Obstacles. Or scenery, depending on how you look at it. When you get rid of them, they are taken to a new home, which, as we find out, is the Market! Now, we are unsure whos market, but considering the fact that an unlimited supply of Trees and Rocks are at your disposal suggests that they are taken to someone else's, since you obviously didn't remove an infinite amount of said Obstacles.

Anyways, it is possible that the same happens for eggs! This also rises the question: what happens to Monsters, Structures, and Decorations when you sell them? And where is the infinite supply of other stuff coming from? See, this is why this is a very unlikely explanation.

So, with all said, if it isn't the first explanation, then why do the Wublins get their energy? Maybe, if the first or second explanation are to be believed, just the DNA from the eggshells themselves? Surely not. Afterall, there are no canon genetic elements to this game, just magic. Aura? IDK. What do you think?
