hello everyone! My name is Sarah and I have a question about my female eastern Hermann tortoise named Sophie I just got her about 5 days ago from this local breeder. And she seems to be doing fine except she hides a lot almost every time I go to check on her in her outdoor encloser she is either in her house or borrowd in her hay pile or in the ground. Is that normal? She is only a juvenile she's like a year old or so. She is visibly very healthy eats and drinks fine. But the strange thing is I will take her out of her encloser for some outdoor exercise in the grass outside. And she is VERY active and completely normal. But when I put her back in her encloser she goes to borrow herself in the ground! Is that normal? I mean it is a little cold here maybe somewhere in the 60s 70s? But during the day it gets warmer. Like I said before she looks visibly healthy. Thankyou in advance!
