I let Percival roam free in my friend's backyard since it is full of dandelion and clover. At night I bring him in and put him in his container.
Most of the time he is very active - he walks the length of the yard three or four times, stopping to graze here and there as he wishes.
The last few nights however, before it even gets dark or anything, he has been sitting in this one spot behind some bushes by her backdoor. He wedges himself in between the bushes and the brickwall making it really difficult and traumatic for the both of us - him and me - to get him out of there to put inside for the night.
I live in Louisiana, it stays above 70 at night, and her backyard is pretty safe. Should I leave him outside all the time? Should I go through the trouble of getting him out of the bushes? Why does he do this? Why is he just sitting there, out of the sun, away from grass, tucked in his shell for hours???
