Hi family,
My russian Darwin is doing great. He eats hydrates and sleeps well. We upgraded him to a ~ 4.5' to 2' indoor enclosure a few months ago with basking temps around 93° F.
He's a little weird sometimes though
When we had him in his smaller ~3' tub, he was just peachy and burrowed often just for fun. However, he's not been burrowing at all really since he's been in this bigger tub. I don't mind that, he can do him. He doesn't claw against corners or anything (well, not for more than a few seconds). However, he will always claw upwards against the inside of his wooden hut, as if he's trying to dig through the top. He does this for extended duration of time.
Is this normal behavior? The hut is plenty big for him to just crawl around and stuff. He's got two hides and good temps. I've attached a picture of the little dude in action. I don't mind that he does that, but he does it so much I feel like he doesn't like it or something? I don't want him to break a nail or anything either.
This is the hut he always goes back into at night to sleep in. Only, when he sleeps, he tries to burrow but instead just scratches at the corner until he falls asleep. The blue tape is just to round off a corner so he doesn't get stuck in it.
