No eggs

Suze65 · 22-06-2018, 06:03 PM

At the moment I’m looking after one of my sister in laws torts, a 20 year old marginated, because she is between houses and hasn’t got a suitable place for them to dig and nest. So the tort is in my garden , where there is plenty of suitable digging . Today she got stuck in, digging a nest , then she seemed to stop, and moving her back legs about , as to arranging the eggs, then started filling in, and when I came back again she had finished filling in and walked off. So I went to dig up the eggs......... no eggs! Now mine often start digging or dig for two hours and then abandon the dig, but never fill it in again with no eggs. Have any of you ever had this happen, and have you any ideas why she would do this. Do you think she could actually have any eggs?
