i dont see my turtle dig in her nesting box. do you think she digs while im at school or is she holding in the eggs

[SpotsMama]

She could be digging while you're at school or she could be holding her eggs. Are you sure she has eggs? Has she already laid some? The way to know for sure is to get an x-ray.

[ginger98]

well first off my parents wont drive me second off she had symptoms earlier like franticly trying to escape, small apetite and extra cautios. now her symptoms are pretty much gone

[SpotsMama]

Have you ever found any eggs?

[ginger98]

dont know where to look

[xsavingsaturdayx]

Do you have public transportation where you live? (city bus)

[SpotsMama]

Poke your fingers around in the dirt in her nesting box.

[ginger98]

no i live on a small island

[ginger98]

it is a really big nesting box

[jenaero]

How old/big is your turtle?

[xsavingsaturdayx]

Is it far from the city or wherever the vet is at? I know it's hard but if she's holding the egg's in you'll have to go to a vet because if not she can die

[SpotsMama]

There could possibly be eggs in the nesting box but the only way to know is to start digging around in it.

[ginger98]

4-5 old about 6 in shell

we are close to a vet but if she is holding them will there be symptoms

[ginger98]

if i ig to hard will the egg crack or get damaged

[xsavingsaturdayx]

With turtle's you never know. Some hide their symptom's until it is too late. It doesnt matter if the egg crack's, it's not good to bring more RES into this world anyway.
