One of my three toeds has been digging test nests for two weeks, but she never lays the eggs. Every night she starts digging, often changing locations a few times, and then abandons the nest around 2 AM. I'm worried that she may be egg bound. I have no experience with this, so I'm not sure what all to look for. She is still very active and hasn't lost any weight. She appears to still be eating. She is walking normally.
This is the first year I've had this girl. She was living in an aquarium before I got her. This may be the first time she ever laid eggs, or laid eggs in many years.
I'm starting to worry about her a bit. Those of you who have had experience with egg bound turtles, can you tell me what to look for? Has anyone else ever had a turtle dig 14 or more test nests? Thanks for your advice!
