RE: laying environment

because you're using moist soil as a nesting material, how long does the cardboard box last?

RE: laying environment

I forgot to mention that I put a rubber liner in the bottom of the box so that it doesn't get destroyed. I put in 6 to 8" of dirt.

RE: laying environment

A month is enough time to shell eggs, so she wouldn't have had to have them over hibernation.
