A just added a baby leopard tortoise to my family today, he was shipped and arrived today. He keeps trying to climb out and flips on his side. Any suggestions of what to do here?

A picture of ur enclosure would help [emoji16] it's common that tortoises try to get back to there old enclosure so maybe its just that

I can send one later, but he was shipped and flipped over upon arrival. I am hoping he's not sick or something...

Flipping over is kind of normal. But, how small or hopefully large is your enclosure? A pix of your enclosure/set up will help us figure out why. Too many obstacles in the enclosure, too small, high hides, improper water bowls or feeders, etc.

Probably needs to settle down and get accustomed to the new house.
