Tortoises and Breeders

Hi everyone, after the last couple of days it was nice to speak to another breeder about this years eggs etc. She got in touch to ask how my hatchlings were going  as hers were down about  50%!!  as was another  breeder she knows. I told her about  Bertha and Gertie and she breeds the same.  We don't know what has happened this year but  whatever it is it's happening to alot of breeders !! So, lets hope next year the girls will have something to show for all the hard work they put in laying their wonderful eggs....
