I don’t have an answer for you, but I just wanted to say thank you. This is one of the sweetest, kindest posts I have ever read on TOTV. The picture in my mind of a person trying to redirect “escaping” tortoises makes me smile.

It can be really hard, if not impossible sometimes, to help Mother Nature. But thank you for trying. I hope you can find the answer you need.
