Rock climbing

Laura1988 · 12-09-2012, 09:22 AM

Both my daredevil redfoots have taken up a new hobby, climbing on top of their hides. It's quite amusing when I go into their room and find one of them perched onto of their arch with an expression which says what this is cometely normal I'm not doing nothing... Honest. It does worry me a little that they could fall of and hurt themselves or land upside down though. Does anyone else's do this?

My Horsfields certainly do this all the time!

My baby redfoot even climbs up onto plant pots, I will upload some pictures later when I'm on the laptop

My stars do, they are so funny as they peer at us from within the plant foliage

Sounds normal to me!

Mine all love climbing. They'll try to climb up anything. I often find them perched on top of plants in 'their' garden. I try to make sure they have lots of things about to get a footpush on in case they topple over. It's a bit of a worry but I guess all torties climb and I've got to just deal with it!!!
