I’ve come home or downstairs a couple of times recently to find Kevin upside down. I’ve no idea how long he’s been like that usually. He likes to climb over a plant and has (twice I think) ended up upside down. He also loves to climb OVER his hollowed out log tunnel, and today my wife found him upside down next to that, presumably after misjudging his normal slide down the other side.
Now I know tortoises are supposed to be experts at flipping themselves right, but I’ve not been witness to either his falling or flipping so cannot confirm if he can or not.
Im worried that he can’t, and he’s going to flip himself when we’re out the whole day or overnight somewhere. He’s only little (9cm and 140g at last weigh in!). Could being upside down for a while kill him? I can’t go putting ramps and soft landings everywhere for him!
Advice? Experiences? Suggestions? Facts?!
