My two month old sulcata tortoise has been doing well the last 4 weeks I’ve had him. He eats well, is very active and loves sitting outside with me. However, I noticed he never burrows in his enclosure and never goes in his hide. His hide is about 70-75 degrees on the “cool” side of his enclosure and about 100 degrees directly under the heat lamp. I keep the hide nice and damp as well hoping he might want to cool off, but he generally just sits under the heat lamp or on the “cool” side just on top of the substrate. I use a coconut coir substrate and make sure I spray it throughout the day. Is this normal of a hatchling Sulcata, or am I doing something incorrect?
