I had a happy moment...for a moment.
I caught my largest female tortoise digging a pretty deep nest as I was feeding them a while ago.
When she saw the food she seemed to have stopped digging.
I returned about 1.5 hours later after I made dinner and there was the nest. No eggs. Just poop.
I'm hoping she'll return.

Off to take one of our cats to the vet- we think he has a urinary tract infection.
Of our 3 cats, he HATES the vets the most!!! He turns into a snarling, growling, clawing THING! They have to use their most experienced techs when dealing with him and he has earned a nick name there: Evil One.

He's really just afraid. We got him as a stray, so I have no idea how this extreme reaction got started.
Wish me luck!!!
Indeed.
Good luck.:)
And to the poor cat as well.

Do they got back to a pre dug nest and lay eggs ?

There's certain areas that are attractive to females for nest digging, for whatever reason. More than one female may use the same spot, even digging up a previous nest of eggs in the process. My desert tortoises all dig in the same spot (no males, so no worries).

Interesting.
Would another one utilize it if the time was right.
Would a female not return to an now abandoned nest but start again elsewhere ?
Yvonne may know.
I'm an egg novice.
I've seen eggs deposited very close together.
Yes. I think there are good spots and they all want them
