Made a little ramp / platform today so that he could reach his grass easier. His curiosity kept him in the way of me placing the ramp in its final resting spot. Had to relocate him a few times. lol. Once in place, he knew right how to get up there without me helping him. No problem getting down either. Smart little bugger.

It’s good that your tort can go up and down, but what I see is a suicide leap when your tort tries a shortcut. I fear that is a big tipping hazard

Yep. Already addressing that. Just waiting on the rails to dry. I'm keeping an eye on him in the meantime. ;)

The ramp is pretty steep looking. Anyway, the ramp and the hit needs railings incase you were only doing one or the other.
