this is quite interesting because it can be the tortoise's make up ie it cant 'layer' the egg and the rubbery bit that binds it all together is often missing which may not be to do with the calcium levels at all but genetics. I am not an expert I read it in the BCG newsletter recently , probably bit too much detail, but if the process stages don't go as they should then the egg can burst. CB
