Good morning friends!
I am a fairly new RT guardian, so I'm still learning about what is normal behavior. Sunny has been with us since June, we adopted him from a rescue. We aren't sure how old he is since we only know his previous owner had him for some years and we don't know where she acquired him but we assume it was a pet shop.
He is usually very routinely. We turn his lights on around 8 am and he starts to wake up and head to his rock to sleep a little more under his light. But for the past two days, he has stayed buried in his mulch and has been extra lazy. Yesterday he was still in his buried in the mulch until noon. We thought maybe we should force him out of there, because we thought it was odd.
This morning he was again still buried in his mulch after an hour of having his light on, so I decided to wake him up and put him on his rock. His skin did feel colder than usual.
He is eating normally, we soak him for 30 minutes every day, and he gets a minimum of two hours of outside time in his outdoor enclosure.
Is he starting to want to brumate, should I be worried?
Thanks in advance 💚
