I have 3.4 northern redfoot tortoises and it appears that they are not breeding. All of the females are 12+ in and one of the males is a nine incher, not quite at the peek of breeding. The other to males are also 12+ inch and they dont appear to be especially interested in breeding.
This is very much frustrating me because the "alpha" male will only mate with one female whereas the other two males dont mate at all. Everyone in my herd are healthy and very active, they just wont mate....
I have tried sprinklers but to no avial. They have a large enclosure that is well planted with appropiate humidity via a sprinkler system.
Please let me know what you think because I really need some advice on how to get them to breed. Im lookin for tips and advice from all of you very successful redfoot breeders out there.
Thanks much.
