We rescued a large sulcata (100 lbs) a couple of years ago. He has a large grassy area - well over 1/4 acre with shade and contour as well as full sun. He roams, grazes and hangs out outside every day it's warm, we live outside of San Francisco. On cool/rainy days he stays inside his house, and he returns there on his own every night on days he spends roaming. His house is about 4' x 4' with a heated floor mat (kane) and oil space heater mounted up high which keeps his house in the mid-70s. I've noticed recently that when he returns home after a day of wandering in the yard, he scrapes and bangs against the walls inside his house for a while before settling down. I'm wondering if he needs a bigger house or we should take the floor mats out so he can dig a in there and/or throw something like straw in with him he can burrow into. Thanks for your suggestions!
