yes, not good ifthey are left flipped over for long periods of time. i believe it cause kidney failure. someone correct me if im wrong!

: Hi all,
: I have 6 hatchling Hermann's tortoises and I found one the other day in his water bowl flipped over on his back! the bowl is shallow (like 1/4 inch deep) so they cant drown. But, ther other day I found another one flipped over, and i actually watched as two other tortoises helped him get back up!!!!!!!! is there any danger to them flipping over, other than if they are caught under a basking light (which is about 90 degrees)?
