Hello All,

Hoping I can get some advise for my Easter Eggs (Laid on Easter Monday!)

So just to fill you in...
I got Tatty back in August 2018 and she was kept with another two tortoises, who were all unconfirmed gender - I took mine to the vets and had it confirmed I had a girl. The previous owners thought she was a boy as she had been 'bullying/attacking' the other two torts which is why they were selling and had said they have found eggs around March/April time the last few years.

My Tatty is 8yr old Hermmans (Testudo hermanni hermanni) she laid 4 eggs and I have decided to try and incubate them after all the effort she put into pushing them out bless her! I was lucky to be there when she started to lay her eggs and literally caught them as they came out - graphic but amazing to experience.

I just have a few questions that hope somebody or some people could answer for me;
  • If she has been in contact with males since last August could these eggs be fertile?
  • How or when can I tell if these eggs are fertile?
Any other advise would be amazing as this is my first time!
Thanks in advance!
