Question for digging

luciano_van Aug 02, 2005 12:13 PM

One of my tortoises keep digging hole for almost a week every morning, the hole was around 2.5cm deep, but she didn't lay any egg. Why?

I can think of two possibilies based on my experience breeding russian torts:

1) She's going to lay eggs, but she's making test nests first.

2) She just wants to dig down into the cool earth for awhile.

Thx for the advice, she just want to rest in cool place.
