Mine are starting to spend more time underground. Coming out later in the morning and going down earlier. Anyone else?

I just got mine but his former owner said he'd been slowing down and he didn't even get up today. I had to disturb him so I could try to see any cloacal spurs ~which I did not~ and offered him a fresh killed rat pup which he refused and promptly went back to bed.
Looks like I bought me a nice box of cypress mulch. :roll:

Ours seem to be going down faster and sooner this year. Yesterday 2 out of the 4 never got up, the other 2 for only a little while. Last year they were down for 1 to 4 days and up for 1 to 3 days. They're still eating when I offer it. I've gone from every 2 days to every 3 days.
My male bones is out at 8am in the morning till about 1pm then he sleeps the rest of the day. My adult female has never been hibernated before (previous owners didn't know they hibernated!) she's 4 years old, I will be trying to hibernate her by november.
