Hello
I have a 15 yr old Horsefield female that has mated my 12 year old male a few weeks ago
I have been watching her closely and today she was in her house and scrapping with her back legs. The garden is a very hot south facing garden and completely tortoise proof.
I had an idea with a large box and cut an entrance in it and put a mound of compost in it. She went in and dug a good size hole and thought she might lay. She then come out and went back in her house. Then fell asleep for the evening.
I obviously do'nt want her to lay and me not find them so has anyone got any suggestions and if the container is ok? Please see photos of it.
