I am new and just found this page. I have an approximately early 20s female desert tortoise. I also have a 7 and 9 year old little tortoises as well. My question is... my little ones are not so little anymore and have been let loose in my yard for about a year now with the big one. We do not know the sexes of the little ones yet, but today we found our large female with some eggs... maybe 4-5 eggs, hard to tell in this pic.
Are my little ones too little to breed if one is a male? Would our female lay this many unfertilized eggs? I would love for them to be fertilized but I am guessing no?
Also, our ground is so hard that she didn't dig a proper nest... should i re-dig and lay them?
I will attach a pic of the legs and a pic of all 3 so you can see the size difference.
Thanks so much and I am excited to have found this forum.
