Hi all,
I hope someone on here maybe able to help my family and I have had our hermanns tortoise for over 70 years she is appox 90-100 years so not a spring chicken.
In the last two weeks she laid six eggs non fertalised as she hasnt got a mate, as shes not in her prime we took her to the vets to ensure she didnt have any more, they xrayed her and found she has one remaining. I have read up and understand that they can hold them if the conditions are not not right for them to lay, my parents backgarden is prodominatly lawn and pebbles, she has tried to dig down in the pebbles but the nest keeps collapsing so i wondered if anyone could give me an idea of how too make an artificial nest.. would a cat litter tray suffice if we put in earth any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance x
