In the past week and a half, my 2.5 year old sulcata has been working on a burrow. I have been letting her dog it and she now sleeps in there and digs most of the day it seems.
Lately, in the morning when I go to the enclosure to feed her, she will see me and scurry to the burrow as quick as possible, which is actually pretty quickly. I will then tap on her house and she will eventually come back up, but it takes about 5-10 minutes. She never used to get as scared an seems to be familiar with me. It used to be that she would hear me an come out of her house to eat, almost right away. She's not shy and I've had her since She was 3 months old.
I'm sure the answer could simply be she just gets startled but it's a behavior I've never seen until recently!
Sure
