Help!!! My tortoise laid an egg on Monday and today I’ve put both (male and female) tortoises outside! My male tort is super active and walks around their large pen all day, I went outside after them being out there for about an hour to sit with them as I always do and I’ve realised a broken egg! I’m assuming my female tort laid it then the male tort has accidentally broken it! My male tort kept putting his face in the yolk?!? I’m so scared that My female tort is like traumatised seeing the egg broken? I took her straight inside by herself and she is now taken herself off to hide. I feel like she may lay another one soon as she was a little bit restless after I took her in but has calmed down now. Please can someone help me, was it normal for her to just lay it on a patch Of grass ? I’d usually ring our vets but they’re closed due to the pandemic? (she’s laid eggs many times before but they have never been fertile, they’re both 15 years old now)
