[/size][/font]hello! i just got my first tortoise a few days ago and he is already active and eating! one thing that i am concerned about is that nigel has already flipped himself on his back a few times... is this something to worry about??

i'm also going to build a simple outdoor enclosure for the summer (i live in new england) so tips on that would be appritiated as well! thanks

Hello and WELCOME. yes they will die if they cannot right themselves. You need to fix, block, take out, whatever is making him flip.

trying to climb on the walls is what flips him over--even when there isn't a corner. that makes it hard to just take it out....
