Oh also let me add to this.

They live in like ant mounds correct? How often do u think they come out the ant mound to explore and talk to the animals and play poker?

If i had to guess i would think they find a hole.. Go in it and stay in it until one of a few things happen. They get to hot/cold and need to relocate or they get hungry and need to go LOOK for food. But seeing as we provide them the food i dont see why they would ever really want to just go check things out.

Correct me if im wrong but this is just what iv seen. My bp sits in his hide ALL day. IF he comes out its to go across the tub to the next hide cuz he got too hot maybe? OR to get water. Iv yet to see him out other then them 2 things. And yes i check on him in the middle of the night seeing as i dont goto bed till around 4am
