First off I don't have experience with colombians, so take this with a grain of salt. I'm pretty sure colombians don't hibernate. If you have been digging him up since day one that would cause him to be stressed and not have time to settle in. I would just completely leave him alone for at least a week. Only go in the cage to spot clean and change water. After that try feeding and keep doing things in the cage to get him used to your presence and learn you aren't going to hurt him. I wouldn't try to handle him for at least a month because it seems maybe you have been a little to aggresive with digging him out and such. Never dig him out or take him from his hide. Hope this helps.
