again?

My big female Eleanor laid 5 eggs 3 weeks ago today. Since then she has regained any weight she has lost and is now doing laps of the table again. Could she be about to lay again so soon?

quick question Danny,
She laid 3 hours ago and covered up the nest herself... but she is still stomping around doing laps of the table and climbing over any tortoise that gets in her way.
Could she still be gravid or is it just her hormones?
She laid 3 eggs this time but 5 the last time.

Thank you..x

Hard to say, but usually when they cover themselves they have laid all their eggs. It could be down to hormones. What your seeing is what usually happens when a tortoise is induced. If she is still doing in a few days, a trip to the vets to get an x-ray might be in order.
