I have a male and female RT and this morning when I went to feed them and found two eggs! (She originally had three but one of them crushed it...) How do I know if it's fertile? I placed them in their own soil in a plastic container in an open shoe box with a small dish of water next to their...
My male and female russian tortoises have mated multiple times these last few months... And today I noticed my female acting bizzare- she is trying to climb up the wall, she won't stop ramming the male and trying to get on him, she won't stay still, she keeps going back and forth... She acts...
The bulb is not coiled, it is a mercury vapor UVB light, their enclosure is fairly large I can measure it when I get home, they have lived together for a little over a year, their is a male and female, their vet guessed their were about 4-5 years old (for both). They have always been indoor...
She gets a break no worries.(: How do I know if the condition is right for HER? I have three dogs so outside is def not the best choice esp in Texas with snakes and cats and dogs... They have the special bulb for indoor T's, so what else to know if it's a good environment?

My Russian tortoises have been mating excessively everyday lately- how successful is it for Russian Tortoises to conceive? Is it hard or fairly easy?

Russian Tortoise Vomiting
So the vet is no help to Shakespeare. And i feel like i'm going one step forward and six steps back. He can't seem to hold down solids anymore he always spit them up so i have him on liquids again. But now he's making werid noises kinda like he needs to vomit, he spits...
So reguarding Shakespeare... I changed his lighting twice and have started putting him outside more often for light, but i have a crazy fear he's going to get parasites from outdoors, so i don't let him out too long. So, as for lighting... What should the light actually say? UV? UVB? How many...

They don't fight for a spot though... They sleep in their own corners without any disturbance to the other. I'm seperating them anyways as suggested.

laura- i have done the baby food soak for nearly five days, (twice a day), they get spring mix every other week, i don't keep their diet constant except for the carrots. Spudnik is completely normal, active, loves to eat and drink etc. that's why i thought it was odd.
They are in the same inclosure, i was told it didn't matter at this point- they'd both have it. They actually do not bully each other, they mind their own business and love to sleep together (they have a large enclosure), and the bulb is not a coil or spiral- the original one was, but i changed...
The temp is about 85, the humidity is 45, the substrate is coconut fiber, i believe i am currently using the powersun 130 w for lighting, i usually give them carrots and everyday change it from dandelion leaves, to collards, to kale, etc. they do get calcium powder daily as well as being soaked...
Hey, so i have two RTs, a male, Shakespearen Sunshine, and a female, Spunik; Shakespeare is about four years old and for nearly three months now his health has become horrible. His eyes have swollen shut (pinkish color), he is severally under weight and refuses to eat, he will stay in one place...
