I know that Leopards are not know for digging. But I have a 10 mo old , "Dunk" who has started digging down and completely covering himself. He has a 8' x 8' outside pen with two others. Well planted with stuff they eat , big water dish.
Twice now when going to get them in for the night I couldn't find him.
(if temps will drop to 72 or less I bring them in for the night).
I mean an inch by inch check with my hands. Got a friend to help. No Dunk. The other two are easy , but Dunk likes to give me heart failure. This time I really thought he got out. Or a hawk got him. Or ..... I really didn't know. It was crazy. He even had me searching the yard for him. Went to bed deciding I lost him.
Today , after kicking myself kicking myself for having lost him , and worried cause got down to 66f last night, went out to check on them and there he was on the basking rock covered in dirt.
I've never had a Leopard do this. Any ideas ? Or do some of yours do this too.
