No pics to post yet, but yesterday during the work day Journey went to town on his home. Two weeks ago we cleaned out his home, so his familiar burrows were gone. Well, he found a good spot 3 days ago. He discovered a spot in his home to really burrow into. He likes to sit under the lamp in a burrow, rather than in his log which is on the cool end.

Yesterday, though, we came home to his food dish knocked over, his water dish pushed out of the way, his log at an angle, and his substrate just a mess. He seems quite content with himself, but we'd never seen the results of such an active day before.

At least he got exercise. Is it safe to say we can just chalk it up to him knowing what he likes?

Will post pics later on, its pretty funny.

Either that, or he held a wild torty party while you were away and didn't get things back in place in time! :cool:

Better check for beer bottles under the sofa...:D

Haha thats probably it.

I have a timelapse going at home right now with a new camera. We'll be able to see what he's up to today!

The thing with these wonderful guys is that they do what they want when they want! Charlie will have crazy days, kicking everything around the enclosure, moving or flipping things over. And when Matt tries to put things right, will charge his hand. It is so cute!!!

Its so frustrating to set up your habitat and make it look pretty and within minutes it gets rearranged. Did you take before and after pictures?

pretty late but here you go. He moved the water dish off from the glass, flipped the food dish over, and nudged the log out from the corner.
