Default Horace again...............

Horace is just going mad all the time. He is trying to get out of his enclosure outside. Its been lovely here since Sunday. Yesterday I left him out all night and for the first time I did not bring him in early morning.. Horace got up at around 9 am. Now he is trying to get out and falling on his back. This as happen 4 times today. Every time he does get right, but its over 40c here and I am worried when I go out he might fall on his back and not manage to correct himself.
I think I have a mad tort! Horace has a big outside enclosure but just wants to get out...............................

No Jackie, but he looks up and sees the mesh and climbs up the sides then falls on his back. I am going to dig deeper so he can not climb or I will just cut off his legs

Theo used to climb a lot but seems to have calmed down now (thankfully). Hope Horace soon starts behaving.
