why female tortoise refuse to mate?

just like the thread title >> why some female tortoises refuse to mate?

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I have an aggressive small female ( for her age) that will have NOTHING to do with my male.
I think that some might not have that instinctual thing....
Maybe she's waiting for a certain set of conditions that so far haven't happened?

Maybe she is waiting until she is settled and has a job.

females tend to accept more of they're ovulating(developing follicles) in which during this time the eggs begin developement so need fertilization at this period. Some females can decline a male though which seems to be this case. I'd advise separating the male(s) and reintroduce them after a few weeks and see what happens then.
