Ok this is just something I thought about when reading another members story about his Red Foot flipping over in its water dish. But I'm curious what all your thoughts on this would be.
Would it be beneficial to intentionally flip your tort on its back and let it struggle and learn how to right itself?? (Of course with close supervision)
A little back story: In the article mentioned above, most members were advocating for a "flip proof" environment, but there was one member that suggested giving the tort things to climb on and possibly increase the risk of flipping because they need to learn to right themselves like they would have to in the wild.
Thoughts??
Ready... GO!
