So here’s my question biggie smalls my 90lb+ male had his hole dug for him and I got him to start sleeping in the corner of my yard. The previous owner had him on the east side of his house under the foundation so he started there at my house but finally got him in a new area . But his hole was big enough then he decided to dig under the fence our gate was not that stable so I blocked it and now dug a bigger hole with a house over it. So how do I get him to start sleeping in the new condo lol. From AZ

I know he's big and heavy, however, the way to get them to go into their shelter at night is for YOU to put him in there every night. It may take a week, it may take only one night, but eventually he'll get the idea.

I forgot to mention that after I put them inside, I block the door so they can't come back out.
