Urgent Care :: eggs in tank

[snoopy1995]

Hi I came home today to find eggs in my tank which were already partially eaten. I only have one turtle about 3 yrs old and approx. size of a small plate. What do I do know? I read a few things about making a nest but would like more info please. Do I take her out of the tank? any help would be great

Just throw them away. Do you know how to feel for eggs? If the water is particularly foul, I would change it.

[snoopy1995]

There are only three eggs will there be more? Should i build her a nest?

[steve]

You can try a nesting area, was she exhibiting any signs before?

[snoopy1995]

Yes acting very very odd. Kept clawing at her atba. We didn't know what was going on. I never dreamed it was eggs.

[steve]

Is she still acting that way?

[snoopy1995]

No. She ate last night and today. The only thing she hasn't done is bask.

[steve]

I'd give her a couple more days. Has the water/filter been changed/cleaned?

[snoopy1995]

No it has not been changed. It isn't yucky. Should I change it anyway?

[steve]

I'd do it sooner than later.
