Smashed Pancake Egg - Page 2

My pancake pair are about 7-8 years old. How heavy are yours?

Jason_London · 23-11-2008, 04:52 PM

I haven't weighed them so not sure. The female is quite a bit heavier than the male. They seem to be a lot more gentle with each other than some of the med torts. Do you find that?

Mine have just started to mate, but im keeping a close eye on them, yes they dont butt which is great. If you dont mind when you have time can you weigh her id love to know how heavy she is to compair to mine

Yes I will weigh her and let you know. It would be great to have baby pancake torts. Just noticed you are from Stoke. I lived there for a few years, really enjoyed it! I found it really friendly. A lot of the locals used to call people duck! Do they still do that?

So sorry about your news Jason

My female lays every 4 to 5 weeks and has been laying 3 eggs for the last 2 years.

Was your female doing any digging before she laid her egg?

She seemed very restless for a while. She didn't do any digging in the nesting area. She laid the egg elsewhere in the enclosure.

Do you mean your pancake has laid three eggs at once or over a period of time. Three at one time is brilliant.

If she wasn't digging in your laying area, than it sounds like she wasn't liking what you've done. What do you have for a laying area?
The first year she had a 1 egg clutch and 45 days later a 2 egg clutch.
Her second year she did three 1 egg clutches at 30 day intervals.

I use top soil from the garden centre and the laying area is in the cooler part of the enclosure.
