I’ve noticed that if I lay down on the ground he comes up and almost tries to burrow under me. It’s so cute! 🥰

That is because he is a baby and he is out and exposed and you are the only place to hide under.

Loose in the yard is a recipe for one of many disasters. It would be much safer and much more comfortable for the baby if he/she had a little outdoor enclosure with plenty of places to hide and take cover. Your climate is great for that this time of year, and there are many ways to do it.

I have a GREAT outdoor enclosure that I made, but currently treating it for ants with ant traps as you had suggested. I only let him out in the yard today not in that enclosure because I wanted to get the ants out! Your outdoor enclosure is GREAT! And once he gets bigger I will invest in something great lien that! For now it’s a 96 by 48 raised bed filled with clovers, hides, a soaking dish, and just planted some seeds from tortoise supply today! So hopefully by the time those are ready to be eaten his enclosure will be ant free!

He was out there for about 30 mins with full eyes on him. And I took most of his things from the enclosure out such as plants and hides. So if he wanted to hide he could!

horrible! But the traps seem to be working and I also got the dust stuff and will put it out as soon as it seems like they have cleared out. I have noticed he LOVES cucumber
