Today my tortoise burrowed in a fully sun-lit area of the yard. I didn’t know if that meant he was hot and was trying to cool off (it was only 64F / 17C), or if he wanted to feel the warmth while being covered. I worried about him overheating so I put him in his outdoor enclosure that has a well shaded area for him to sleep, but he became restless and wanted out again
Should I have left him alone? Do tortoises generally know what they need and can be left to do what they want, or did I make the right call? Sometimes I don’t know what to do in these situations. And I’m supposed to be a parent to a human child within the next 3 years!? I don’t know how some of you do it without being a complete helicopter parent 😆
