This is a good time to get in a visual inspection of the bottom of the tortoise! Was he ok? When mine ended up on his back he hurt his front leg trying to get back over.

~ Probably was a mating event that ended up somehow causing this!

~ Here is a picture taken during a fuss, I actually intervened and prevented a turn over!

~ That is always a concern. I eased him back over and actually assisted his landing for safety and to ensure no injury!
