Hi everyone. I remember one of the really great experts in here teaching all of us about fences and how much sulcatas hate areas that they can see and cant get to. I cant remember what was said but I did walk away feeling that it was awful for them and tormented them!
Here is my question: my tortoise is always walking into walls. I enclosed a picture of our yard which is gigantic but is entirely enclosed by a white wall. There is a walkway that has a fence at the end and at the end of the day he does laps back and forth just in that area (he may be able to see through the wooden slats of this fence door but Im not sure) and even tries to climb the walls, all of which are white. Also, he tries to climb and walks into the house.
Is this normal? Is the white wall affecting him? I dont think we would be allowed to paint it and even if we were- I cant think of a color that wouldnt have the same affect. I assume my tort to be very happy at my house but this attempted wall climbing and pacing at the end of the day really concerns me sometimes.
Thanks so much for any feedback. I appreciate your time.
