Wooden tortoise table Help!

[AbeetheRound]

Hi

I have my two young adult torts in a wooden table, it’s very sturdy and easy to set up. They seem very happy in there.

However, I have noticed something since setting up and putting my torts in... noise!!! They are constantly trying to climb up the side of the table and the noise of their little claws scraping the wood goes straight through me! The only thing that stops them doing it is throwing food in and this is only temporary whilst they eat. Has anyone else had this problem? I am intending to put more substrate in there this weekend after reading through a few more posts, but I’m worried with the increased depth, they will be closer to the uv strip installed under the hatch of the table and heat light which I have on a stand over it. What are your thoughts? Could it be more than just a few home improvements, do you think maybe my torts are bored?

Any thoughts appreciated, the noise is driving me mad!

Abee 😊
