Hello, I am new here and I have had my Russian for almost a year now she is an adult and I have recently started having problems with her trying to escape. I dont mind her trying to climb the walls of her enclosure but she has started to injure herself in the process and I know she must be bored. I am a full time college student and I have my own room but her enclosure here at school is smaller than her house when I am home. Right now she is in a 50 gallon tote which is smaller than what I had her in but she figured out how to climb out of the previous enclosure and the tote was the next best thing I could do. I have the zoo med power sun 100 watt bulb, I use cypress mulch as bedding which she loves digging in, I have tried different houses but she prefers a towel to hide under. She does like this grass basket looking house I got her but now shes trying to climb out with it and flipping on her back so I dont let her have it unless she is walking around in my room. I know the enclosure size has an effect on her trying to escape but I figure if she has things to climb it might limit the amount of time she tries to escape.
So my question is does anyone have any ideas of what I can put in her enclosure that will allow her to climb and keep herself entertained with out her being able to flip over?
