Hello!
I care for a Texas Tortoise who started exhibiting laying behavior in June. We saw her digging in multiple places. She did not lay. Since then we have had to move her multiple times for various reasons, as much as we have tried to keep her in one place to let her feel settled. For the past two weeks she has been in the same spot that we have tried to set up as comfortable and tortoise friendly as possible. We have made sure she has soft and moist soil to dig in, try to give her sprinkler often since people have said they lay after a good rain, and now the vet has given her a oxytocin and calcium injection in hopes that will encourage her to lay. Does anyone have any advice?? Or know how long they can hold eggs for?? ANY advice will be helpful.
Thank you!
