I had been thinking of having a couple of tortoise tables completed as part of an island project we are considering. Luckily I had tortoise tables built for our trip and learned that my russian didn't tolerate the table very well. She had a miserable time in the table. I ended up moving her to her travel cage and she was happier. She hated not being able to see out and would scratch and burrow the entire time she was in the table. In her temporary travel cage she could see out and was fine, but when she couldn't see she absolutely was miserable and wouldn't relax. I left her in the table for over a day trying to get her to adjust. Henry, my marginated, was fine in both because he can see out either way.
Once I put her in the temporary travel cage, which was unfortunately smaller (but not tiny), she relaxed and just laid there basking and looking around.
Am I the only one who has a crazy tortoise like this or is this common? I always say people saying to block their view. I am so glad we tried this because now I know anything I build for her needs to have clear sides so she can have a view.
