Hi.

I keep finding my two year old hermans tortoise on her back.

It appears as if she has climbed onto the roof of her cool shelter and fallen onto her back.
There are plenty of things she can use to right herself so when it happens I try and leave her to work it out on her own.

Is there anything I can do to try and stop this happening as I worry that it'll happen when I'm out and she will get stuck.

If you can upload a quick pix of your enclosure and the offending hide, im sure you will get better ideas on what the issue is. Maybe a larger enclosure coupled with a larger hide will help, but we wont know til we see a pix!

more than likely you have to remove whatever your tortoise is climbing on once they get something stuck in their little tiny brains it never leaves
