I was just wondering if someone could help me figure out why Sulcatas , or any tortoise really, doesn't automatically go to where its warm when it gets cold. Like in the wild they go to their warm burrows. I have read that on this forum multiple times that people have to manually put their Sulcatas in their warm houses during the winter or they will just sleep out in the cold. or when its raining and its freezing cold they will go out into the rain and sleep anyways... this just doesn't make sense to me because I just thought that there natural survival instincts would kick in and tell them to go to where its warm when its too cold to be healthy for them outside... just a little curiosity.
