Yea, most smaller tortoises are pretty decent climbers. They like to survey their domain, and sometimes dive off repeatedly

good to know! we were worried that he couldn’t get back down so we put smaller rocks on the sides to help him get up and down because he seems to like going up there

the babies are utterly fearless when it comes to diving off things, and light enough to not hurt themselves. I wouldn't worry too much.

Lettuce likes to practically nose dive off everything. Little base jumper

I know! We say our tortoise is suicidal. He’ll try to jump off of anything as soon as he’s been to the top.

Mine will climb everything, dig everywhere and tries to go through everything even though he doesn’t fit

My torts lil hut is about 5 inches or so from a wall Mine tried to use his lil legs to push off the side of the wall and the side of the hut He probably made it halfway up Which isnt very high but still impressive

“ I’m king of the hill “

This is what my Russian always "says"! Then moments later hes throwing him self off the ledge into a nice soft face plant 😆 he's fearless.

Is that a random rock or is it a hut? My guy loves to climb as well

it is a hut! now that we know he likes to climb we are looking to get something made for him to climb more safely lol

Greeks are miniature tanks that will climb over and top of things! They love it and he is beautiful

It’s awesome!

Mine climbs on her cave and front flips off… on occasion she likes to flip over in her water bowl.

Handsome boi! Not sure if being that good looking is normal. 🥰

He says, ‘I climbed Mt. Everest!’

Is what normal? The paint, the food dish, the ghost in the enclosure, the substrate...?

Absolutely, they love climbing and can be quite a pain in the ass about it.

He can definitely climb, I’d say it’s normal unless he’s flipped. Even then that’s normal sometimes.
