Hope all ok Meriel. Poor little peep probably had a right fright ! and so did you by the sounds. There is never an easy way with them turning over. The sides of my temp table bends outwards at a degree so that its not bolt upright and the'y cant stand on tippy toes and fall backwards but one has managed to tip even so. Think he rolled down sideways and then toppled...its heart stopping when you find them like it sometimes, CB
