Dear Desert Tortoise Supporters,
In our last report, we told you that we were waiting for the three Desert Tortoise eggs in our incubators to hatch. And, we are…still waiting… As we wrote last time, eggs hatch in the summer or early autumn so we have some more waiting to do.
In the meantime, the precious eggs are being kept in optimal conditions within an incubator – so please keep hoping for the best!
Captive breeding requires greater care than in other tortoise species, as the species is more delicate and the clutch is very small. Fortunately, we have a very experienced zoological team who will do their best for these, the smallest species of tortoise in the northern hemisphere.
Yours, in hope -
Team Tortoise at the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo
