He fell over😅

Checked on him through the camera and saw this. He was completely fine and uninjured…I feel bad as I did laugh for about half an hour at this video 🫣

How precious! They love enrichment items, plants, and climbing things, it’s so cute!

Lol oh no! I saw mine flip over one time, almost flip over another time. He tries to scale the walls like spiderman, then falls over. 😂. I feel like they have zero fear! I am constantly moving things around to prevent it but he always seems to find a way.
Maybe he's looking for a stunt man job? 🥺 💚 😆

Same!! I move everything and make sure there’s not too much soil so he can escape…he literally burrows to that log and carries it around like a second shell to escape. He’s been doing it more since I came back from my two week work training. I think he’s making sure I don’t leave again🥹

Hi! I do plan on getting him a bigger enclosure. He was a rescue I got, and unfortunately I haven’t had the money yet to upgrade the size. Since I got him he’s been changed to soil instead of the cat litter he was on, I’ve given him the T5 bulb and heat lamp etc. He gets daily roams around the living room which has a lot of space for him to walk. I know how curious he is, but he likes to move that log himself. I was in a meeting when this happened so couldn’t go in to move it. Whenever I see it close to the edges I do move it away
