I have had my tortoise 2days. He is so adorable and i love him so much but I feel bad about what just happened.
So i turned off the lights for my tortoise about 40mins ago and went to check whether he was sleeping, but I realized I couldn't find him anywhere. I was checking everywhere frantically, even theorising how he may have escaped despite the fact there is no escape route and a lid. I did not think he would burrow because I have never seen him do this. However, after 5mins of panicking I did find him burrowed a few inches, asleep. I knew they burrowed, but it freaked me out so much when I couldn't see him! I woke him up and I am sure that i did the wrong thing and will not do it again. Can someone just reassure me he wont suffocate when he's sleeping under there? And will he come to the surface when he wakes up?
