Anybody else's tortoises laying eggs yet.
I have 5 female and 1 male horsfields and all the females have now laid eggs having a total of 12 in the incubator the first one to lay having laid again.Obviously the good weather has made them lay.
They came out of a 5 month hibernation in the middle of March and started laying on 25th with the last laying yesterday 8 April.Hopefully all should hatch as I have a pretty good hatch rate.
I still have 8 yearlings from last year of which 6 are sold but whether they go this year with what is happening in the world I don't know,looking like I will have to build another Nursery.
