Forth clutch is it normal?

cherylahutch · 19-06-2014, 02:38 PM

Padmae has just laid two more eggs!! This is her first season and she has laid four times now is this normal? She seems to be doing great and three out of the four eggs incubating are fertile, obviously too soon to tell for these new ones. I'm really shocked that she keeps laying, Bella only laid once so bit surprised by Padmae.

Tortoises can vary as to how many times they lay. The important thing is to make sure she gets lots of calcium. As egg laying can sap all their store of calcium:0)

Great news is all my clutches were fertile and they are doing well. I have 3 healthy hatchlings and 2 more eggs developing well. Bella also decided to lay one which is also looking fertile so very happy :0)
