I have browsed lots of threads on here re flipping but they were all closed for replies.
Anyone have advice re flipping? Lira just started to flip herself this week because she has suddenly realised the world is bigger than her enclosure and tries to climb up to see out (the walls are twice her body hight). The only thing to climb on is her shelter where she likes to sleep and she is even trying to climb up onto that. She loves being high and looking out off things, don't we all!
I am worried for when I am out or asleep because she does not try to right herself. Is that because she is still too young, legs too short? She is about 1 year and one month old.
Although I know people will be judgemental on this, I did just try flipping her over to see if she can save herself, I figured a minute of stress in a safe environment to confirm if she was able to flip back was better than the endless worry I am feeling right now? But she didn't even try, lay like a statue.
Yesterday when she flipped herself over I found her after anywhere up to 5 or 10 minutes and she was flailing her legs but just in the air, in panic, not trying to get leverage on anything to turn back over.
How long can she survive if she flips when I am not home? I have heard different stories so am feeling a bit frantic.
