Its a natural thing for torts to want to climb and explore.

I would suggest either removing the stone completely and putting some smaller ones in its place so she can walk over them quite easily.. or keep the larger stone in place and build up the surrounding area with hemp, so its soft if she does do a nose dive.

My 3 leopards love to climb, i have little log rolls for them to climb over which they love.. and the Hermann loves to climb on his huge log roll and quite frequently nose dives off

but he never hurts himself.

Hope this help :P
