Hi friends,
I'm perplexed by my tortoise's lack of burrowing. She used to all the time. She doesn't even go into her hidey hut above ground. She used to always have her head under the substrate if staying in place. But recently she kinda nestles next to a drift wood in a little depression but not a burrow. And she's half in the basking light, half out. I changed changed her substrate from old dry cypress mulch to reptibark. I just don't want her to be uncomfortable. Is it a necessity that they burrow? Thank you all.
