Baby Sulcata Tortises on the backs

Just got 4 baby tortises a week ago. 2 are trying to climb out of the tub they live in and / or climb on each other and end up on there backs.

They also appear to be sleeping standing up on 2 legs against the wall of there tub.

This happens a couple times a day when we are home. I suspect this has to happen when we are at work. But when we come home they are always on there feet. Can these babies get back on there feet on there own? I would think they could die if they were on there back for a long time.

Any info ?
