You may want to put the tortoise on a mound of wood shavings, in case she doesnt dig a hole, so she does not break them.



There is a case when x rays are useful, and that is, if a broken egg is the suspect cause of egg retention, in which case oxytocin-caused contractions may force the egg through the oviduct,it almost happened to me with a red leg. Surgical removal of the eggs was done and 12 years later she is still a successful breeder
