I have a sulcata. her name is Olivia. She is about 7 years old and has lived outside for the last 3 years. she burrowed about 2 years ago and normally when it starts getting cold out I block her burrow so that she has to sleep in her house which has a heating pad and a heat lamp to provide warmth for her. My question is this, it's cooling off at night maybe in the high 60's and back up to the 80's in the daytime, but she has not been out of her burrow for a little over a week now. I have crawled down into her burrow to make sure she was there and she is and normally she tends to be less active in the winter, sleeping more, eating less but she has never stayed in her burrow for that long of a period with out coming out to at least eat? Do you think there is something wrong with her or is it possible that she just wants to sleep because it is cooler out now? Should I be worried and try to dig her out or just leave her down there until she comes out on her own? Thank you for any input you might have about this. Tina
