How awesome that you capture this. Animal instinct is amazing, nobody taught them to do that except Mother Nature. Also seeing the tortoises moving fast is rather funny.
At the end of the video watching her loosen up the dirt to that whole area and leveling that whole area and then proceed to repeatedly walk all over it was amazing to me.
What hard work Gertie! But I hope they all will hatch safely, after all the loving care you put into making the egg chamber just right. WONDERFUL TIME LAPSE!
Poor Gertie, birth and egg laying is extremely taxing on the body, and she looks exhausted. I have a lot of respect for all females in the world, of all species. You are all amazing 👏
So much work for her She's quite an amazing lil lady... An so gentle with her big self an those ever so small breakable eggs. She's an amazing Mum!!! ✌🏻💗☺️❣️
They trust u so much I freaking love that. U take such good care of the mbv making your yard as much like their natural wild home as possible. Keep it up.
Yeah normally they will circle around their enclosure non stop and they also will dig these "test nests" where they feel out the ground so prepare for laying her eggs.
It takes about 4 months for them to hatch out, and when they are ready to hatch out, it will actually rain and the ground gets very soft for them to come up. Also when the mother first lays the nest, she will poop and pee inside the nest to help mold everything together and also the babies will nibble on the moms poop when they hatch out as an extra source of food (the poo is mostly grasses and hays) Also right when they hatch out, they have this yolk connected to them that feeds them for up to a week. But they naturally burrow and live underground in the wild, I also never had a problem with them hatching. I'll definitely be doing the whole process on my tiktok of them hatching out. The experience of them hatching is amazing! 😁🐢
@@TheTortoiseWhisperer do you know things about a desert tortoise? Because I want to know if it's ok to put a Russian and desert tortoise together, and my mom said I can't get a Russian tortoise because if one gets the other sick we can't afford to take them both to the exotic vet. And I want to know if there is anything else I need besides calcium power, food, water and a bath for my desert tortoise. Any necessities?
Was it me or did it look 1 EXHAUSTING on her and 2 I think every other tortoise came by and looked for eggs and to see how she was doing. They truly are on another level than some other animals. Hell if a cat has kittens and another cat came by like that hell they would fight to the death...
Oh man, the volume gain is way down so I could barely hear what you were saying. Thanks a million for posting this. Obviously, we're still getting lots of use out of this video!
WOW I love love tortoise and turtles. I find them adorable. I quickly subscribed to your channel. Now back to binge watching your videos. Simply adorable ❤️❤️
Watching the Tortoise prep to lay her eggs this song popped into my head: Oh, Ssake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake that booty, shake that booty!
She's so precious. Its filmed in fast motion so how many hrs did the whole process take her? Also, it looked like some of the other tortoises came by to check on her. I love these wonderful creatures so much already. Thank you for sharing.
Did she make that extra spot of dug up and disturbed ground near where she actually laid them as a chance to confuse predators that feed on eggs? Like the decoy car in the movies? I seen you commented that they do practice digging in the ground of the area before, but I noticed after laying the eggs she went over to that other spot and messed around with the dirt making it look very similar to the ground where she actually laid them.
They just dig for burrows not to reach a different place or for access to anything. The way they dig the chance they would actually breach the fence is very low
you have probably been asked this before, so I apologize, I'm new here! what do with all the babies? do people adopt them?!are they released to their natural habitat?
Question I've got a sulcata tortoise at home a female and live out in California. Came walking down our driveway 1 day randomly and was about 14 in wide and roughly 15 pounds or so and healthy. it is a female and i wanted to know when to be ready for her to lay. i cant find too much info i trust and i reapect the way you care for your animals. please let me know. she has a uv light a basking rock and differet temp zones if she needs to regulate heat. she eats grasses and proper food with calcium and electolite soaks. she is very happy and her shell looks proper.
I had no clue tuetles can do all this I can't imahen how deep my turtle dig i saw hole but not sure how deep xsuse ee have a wall there I think brick wall some how wow the turtle busy
How tiring it looks to give birth! And I loved how her massive foot was touching the eggs so carefully, like patting them good night! 💖💖💖
💏

Amazing to see how gentle she is and how hard she works to protect her legacy!❤
Great! It is always a pleasure to see a tortoise lay eggs and eventually see hatchlings!
it is an amazing experience!

3:50 she’s dancing to the piano beat in the background and she’s matching her movements with the beat. 😂
I thought it looked like she was dancing too!! 😂
Can you tell when a tortoise is carrying eggs or do you only find out when they start digging to have them?
Yeah normally they will circle around their enclosure non stop and they also will dig these "test nests" where they feel out the ground so prepare for laying her eggs.
- I love how it doesn't even look like she hardly dug. It's pretty cool to see.
How long until the babies hatch? Do you check on the hole to make sure it doesn't get too compacted for them to get out? Love your videos!
It takes about 4 months for them to hatch out, and when they are ready to hatch out, it will actually rain and the ground gets very soft for them to come up.

It’s amazing those lil babies can get out of the hole. There so deep!! Too adorable

Yes, me too! Just found this channel, and subscribed right then. I agree, they are fascinating creatures to watch and SOOOO cute!!

Your babys are so pretty! The mother did a great job! My bearded dragon and i love your videos. :)
Awesome! Congrats! I can't wait for the day we start getting eggs even though we're going to have to wait years and years lol
Thank you! It actually only takes about 4 months to hatch 🤩
It's like having a nature documentary in your backyard. Really cool
She's so precious. Its filmed in fast motion so how many hrs did the whole process take her? Also, it looked like some of the other tortoises came by to check on her. I love these wonderful creatures so much already. Thank you for sharing.
She is so smart and I love his strong foot

I love your content! Very amazing!!

me vibing then my family watches me like im crazy 2:48
watching this while holding my baby Sulcata, thanks for sharing this
I wonder how long this actually took. I love the way they walk too!
I'd make an educated guess and say it took about 8 hours.
Maybe 8 hours
What an amazing sight. Gosh u r lucky
3:00 mark. Dancing tortoise lol.
I was gonna say, Wow, tortoise birth takes so long! And then I remembered human birth….
2:27
i like to move it move it
I lost it on this comment.... Cuz that dang song was playing in my head as she was digging... 😂🤣😁😂🤣😁🥰
@@donnakawana 😂
What do you do if your tortoise steps on the egg while giving birth? Is there a way to prevent it or do you just let it go naturally? 😊
Did she make that extra spot of dug up and disturbed ground near where she actually laid them as a chance to confuse predators that feed on eggs? Like the decoy car in the movies? I seen you commented that they do practice digging in the ground of the area before, but I noticed after laying the eggs she went over to that other spot and messed around with the dirt making it look very similar to the ground where she actually laid them.
Way cool!! Thanks for the education.
Does the neighbors dog ever come to say high ? 🤔 lol
The iturtle are coming to see the eggs and she still digging 🤣
I need enclosure like youuu man. My tortoise need mate
I love your videos
The background music is ludovico einaudi's piece.... I forgot the title
Awesome video!!!
2nd tortoise was like: ooo watchu doin, 2 seconds later.... this boring
Fascinating
Do the tortoises get regular bloodwork? 🤔
Or is that not necessary for them? 🤔
Greetings from South Georgia! I have a quick question………how to you keep the tortoises from digging out of their enclosure?
I love the tortugas
Good job
You're playing a loosing game with that fence brother
They just dig for burrows not to reach a different place or for access to anything. The way they dig the chance they would actually breach the fence is very low
What a good mamma
you have probably been asked this before, so I apologize, I'm new here! what do with all the babies? do people adopt them?!are they released to their natural habitat?
Why do they urinate in the nest before laying eggs?
Now i know how it evolved to swim
We have a tortoise and his name is Sheldon
Question I've got a sulcata tortoise at home a female and live out in California. Came walking down our driveway 1 day randomly and was about 14 in wide and roughly 15 pounds or so and healthy. it is a female and i wanted to know when to be ready for her to lay. i cant find too much info i trust and i reapect the way you care for your animals. please let me know. she has a uv light a basking rock and differet temp zones if she needs to regulate heat. she eats grasses and proper food with calcium and electolite soaks. she is very happy and her shell looks proper.
I don't want to breed her by the way I just want to make sure that she doesn't become egg bound.
If tortoises have prisons this how they would escape 😂
People:PKP,stay at home
Tortoise:stay in his shell
How do you know if they are pregnant
Landscaping company with tortoises
The 2nd tortoise is the male?
