I’m not the most senior member or seasoned owner, so correct me if I’m wrong should anyone disagree, but I do believe this is pretty natural at that age. My redfoot slept a bunch when she was young. She’s about a year old now and much more active and alert! I also found she wanted to explore more after removing a hide she never used that just took up space in her enclosure. I’d say as long as he is eating a well rounded diet, looks healthy and well hydrated, and his enclosure isn’t undersized or over cluttered, it should be normal at this stage; it was for my girl ?

Thank you! I totally thought I was doing something wrong ?
