Hello,
I am a fairly new Sulcata tortoise owner. He (Morton) was found on a bike path in the city I live in, and the owner was never located. We ended up adopting him several months after his rescue from the bike path. I took him to the vet shortly after he was adopted and he had a clean bill of health.
I have never seen him even attempt to dig a burrow. My question is, should I break out some garden tools and get one started for him? I thought they naturally dug their own burrow. His favorite home has been an igloo dog house.
Thank you for any information.
