I live in Cyprus where I have a female Greek spur thighed tortoise which was found as a stray, wandering down the road. she lives in an outside run, all year round. I have 2 males who are very attentive and very active courting and mating with her! I’ve had her since 2013 but I have no idea how old she is, although I would say she was fully grown when I got her. Last year was the first time that she laid eggs, 4 in total, a few days apart. She didn’t bury any of them despite there being areas of loose soft soil in her outdoor run. I followed internet advice and took them out of the run and carefully buried them but none hatched. This year she has now laid 3 eggs but hasn’t buried any. So my questions for all the experts here are,
A) why doesn’t she bury the eggs?
B) should I move them ( I’ve found broken shells in the run)
C) should I bury them?
D) am I missing something?
I hope you can help because I’d love some babies!
