I miss my DT's. About 4 months to go and they will be waking up....

The male will come out for a couple of mins, early morn, but go right back. The female is not coming out at all on her own. She is the one digging the tunnel, the male is following behind her. Their tunnel is under a large plastic container so I can move it to get to her.
Neither one is really eating. I'm throwing away far more than they are eating.
I know dts are solitary animals, but these two have pretty much always slept side by side since they were hatchlings. It's unusual to find them in different areas of the yard, they have free roam of a large back yard.
