Hi:
What are the chances of Russian tortoise eggs hatching in the outside enclosure? I am sure that at least one of my females have laid eggs as last last summer she laid five eggs; however, I knew they were not fertile as at that time she had not been around a male for many, many years. However, last fall and this year she has mated with a male.
How dry does the soil have to be not to damage eggs? I have different things in the enclosure that must be watered or that will die. The part that has weeds that I planted from seeds I just lightly sprinkle every day and other plants have to be watered more deeply.
Thanks for any information.
Carol
