This morning when I checked on my Russian tortoises I saw one of the females digging a nest. I intermittently checked on her. She dug the nest and then it looked like she went through the motions of laying eggs. She then covered the nest up. However, when I dug up the nest there wasn't any eggs. I dug a large area up and dug even deeper than a nest would be. I know I dug in the correct area as there was a pile of dirt on a paver directly in front of her and I used that for a landmark. Also when she covered up the nest she buried some of the tall Fescue grass blades. She has already laid three clutches of eggs this year.
Has anyone else ever experienced this with any of their tortoises?
