Sleeping problems

So I have a Tegu who is Argentine black-and-white and there name is kiwi. I don't know whether or not I should be concerned about this but they seem to be waking up early and retreating to their burrow only a few hours later. Since I am in high school I leave before they wake up and I only get home a little bit after the retreat back to their burrow meaning I can't exactly get them food so I do have a Mist King set up and I replace their water dish every other day. Other than that they're only a month old so I cannot tell what gender they are. So really what I'm trying to ask here is what should I do to make sure that they get fed or is there a way to change their sleeping pattern in which they will be up in active by the time I get home from school?

Lol...you can absolutely change their habits - they'll get hungry enough to start coming out at a different time if you stick to your routine, and don't slip into their idea of when feeding time is. It doesn't take that long - but within a couple weeks - I'd think the change could be complete, or sooner. Good to replace the water like you are doing.
