I don't know about tortoises but turtles, yes. First, they never care for their young. Second, their shell is part of their backbone, so you can't take the shell away from the turtle without leaving the backbone behind. Third, turtles get eaten by predators so much that sometimes only one in a hundred turtles survive.
