Hi again, I have had my little leopard tortoise for 2 weeks. I built her a closed chamber enclosure like I read about here from a plastic Christmas tree box and a cold frame green house. I noticed that she paces a lot on the back wall and sometimes she flips herself on her back and kind of just struggles a little then kind of gives up. Im worried about her getting stuck when Im not here to help her. I use fine orchid bark, I removed what she could get stuck on. Its always in the same place too. I thought she did it when she had food she didnt love (she does seem picky), but now im wondering if her enclosure just isnt big enough. I dont let her roam outside of her enclosure and I havent taken her outside yet because its been too hot here, the only time out has been for her soaks. Please help.
here is her enclosure…where the pink dot is in the third pic is where she flips. Near the UV light.
