How high should the walls in her pen be? We have been letting her out to survey the yard while we are outside, and putting her back in her enclosure when we go in. Recently she has been trying to escape, and on Wednesday she made it over. We went to church that nigh so i guess we might have figured this out before dark had she picked a different night. So when we came home my son went out to bring her in and she was gone. Dh and Ds found her eventually, but we havn't let her out since.

If we are going to reinforce the walls how highs should we make them?
Thanks

Making sure it is still twice as high when there are rocks or hides, etc. against the wall.

Also- put a block or cap on any corners. Some torts figure out how to shimmy up places they can sort of wedge into.
