My ibera greek is almost 1 year old. Now that the weather is very warm, I have placed her bin (she is always in) outside to get some natural sun on a high porch with an enclosed screen so animals cannot get to her. She has two hideaways. She never hides in her log when indoors (she does in her flower pot) when inside, but only to sleep.
Everytime I put her outside in some natural sunlight (so far about 4x) she literally runs as fast as she can inside her log and buries herself. She has that as a shaded area and I thought maybe it was because she was too hot, but this is literally seconds after she is placed outdoors. We let her walk around under supervision the other day and she continually ran to my boyfriend like he would protect her. I even tried feeding her in the sunlight and strangely, she will eat a few pieces of lettuce as fast as she can then run back into the log. What can I do to get her used to being outside and get some real sun? Is she afraid of the light or predators? Is this normal? Other than that, she is very healthy and I haven't had any issues. She's just being a baby
