So my little russian tort somehow ended up stuck upside down in his water bowl. I didn't see him fall, but I found him soon after. Before I could help, he tried to push himself up with his head. Nearly drowned himself! I fished him out of the bowl and put him down. He was okay, but now I'm worried about leaving him alone! The water dish is designed for tortoises- shallow with a ramp. The water was only deep enough for him to soak in. He and the little greek I have don't really use it all that much and I soak them both once a week for 15 mins.
Do they really need the water dish in there? I'd hate to come home to find that they drowned. If they must have the water dish, what can I do to make sure this never happens again?
