Naughty Freddy!!
Just want let the newbies know..
make sure the temporary/permanant enclosure is secured!! Today.. I wanted Freddy and Willow outside, as it is beauitful day.. I thought.. 2 hour in the sun today be ok for them and build up tomorrow to longer... I set up a temporary set up as I didnt have anything for them to go in.. using wood to block their way out.. and lid I use for rabbit cage.. Look safe.. NOPE!!! Fred got herself out by go under the wood!! It was panic time for me when i could not see her.. but I move all the wood and found her under!! PHEW!!!! |

Lol you will find if theres a way they will find a way out. I had one of my juvenile males decide he would knock a piece of log roll down and get out to another part of my garden. I keep an eye on him all the time as he is a devil for escaping.
Remember that tortoises are great climbers too, even from a very young age. Dont put anything near fenced off bits of the enclosure otherwise they will climb and get out that way. Also corners of enclosures, make sure you put something on top of the corners, otherwise they will shimmy up and over.
