Grass is Greener?

[Shelli]

So once your tortoise has escaped and he/she realizes the grass really isnt' greener after all... do they still keep trying to escape?
Jaba escaped today, I thought she might she was being really mischievious this morning as it was...
It's not a big deal for her as she is on our balcony which has 3.5 foot solid walls all around and I have 1/4 sectioned off as hers.. so she just escaped into the other part where there is nothing.. no hides, no food, no water, no rocks to climb on, no bubbles to play in, no nommi plants... etc etc.. lol.... she was under the clothes horse (boring)....

thats normal behavior, And yes she will continue to try to escape (nothing better to do).

Unfortunately, once they escape once it usually motivates them to try more and harder after that. I'm going through a bit of that right now with a new girl.

 

[Shelli]

Maybe I'll just start her out on the other side then... lol...

I used to have Dudley's yard divided into three parts, but he was so industrious about knocking down the separating fences, that I eventually just took them down.

Oh my ... lol....

Well it looks like it's breeze blocks in Jaba's future (tomorrow), I have them but didn't use them as I didnt' think she would climb the nicer looking barrier I have..

But you guys were right this morning she had tried and flipped, then I sat and watched her and she's just going up and down and trying getting her legs up and looking over the top...

She's sooo friggin cute when you see her little head pop over the top though and you can just see her shell walking back and forth.. lol..
