? If you want a grass turtle to lay eggs, you have to wait until they are sexually mature. Most grass tortoises don't lay eggs until they have been kept for five years. Sexually mature tortoises begin looking for a mate in April and lay eggs from May to August. Every time before laying eggs, they will find a piece of sand and use the sand to store the eggs. Sandy soil can protect eggs from being found to a certain extent, and also provide nutrition for eggs.
During their production, they should be fed more high-protein foods, so that the eggs produced will be particularly good. Most lower animals have the habit of eating their offspring, so it is best to keep the eggs separately from the adult turtles. The eggs should be placed in a better environment, so that they can hatch naturally after 50-80 days.
can a grass tortoise lay? A single female grass tortoise usually lays 15 eggs a year, and a female tortoise with better physique will produce about 30 eggs. Grass tortoises lay fewer eggs than other species of tortoises, but they generally live longer. If you want the female turtle to lay more eggs, you should pay more attention to the combination of food in daily feeding, so that the nutrition is more comprehensive and rich, so that the female turtle can grow well. The female tortoise's constitution is good, and the number of eggs laid is naturally more.
