Buried during the day as expected but surfaced on his own around past 9pm. He's currently sitting at the entrance of his burrow but he looks giant and rotund. He ended up shedding and now he’s just chilling.

Peach was fully buried, I unearthed him and he had a ton of dirt on him. I cleaned him off and moved him to his feeding enclosure. Within 15 minutes he happily took 1 medium nightcrawler, 2 tiny nightcrawlers, 1 small silverside, 1 medium silverside + multivitamin. I placed him back inside of his enclosure and he spent the next few hours resting and digesting. By the time I checked on him again, he was already reburied.

Peach was deep in his burrow as usual. He surfaced on his own last night so I didn't need to dig him up to feed him. He allowed me to move him to his feeding enclosure without putting up a fuss. I was able to feed him 2 nightcrawlers + calcium. I tried to feed him a third worm but he didn't take it. Instead he inflated himself and started shedding. I watched him take his jacket off. After he was done, I moved him back to his home. He settled into his burrow surface for the rest of the evening.

Peach was fully buried all day, but I went to check on him a bit past midnight. He was sitting in his shallow burrow and his skin was glistening, looking like he just finished a shed.

Peach was in his burrow. I scooped him up and he made his little squeak. I placed him in his feeding enclosure (this time the feeding enclosure was in his tank). He happily took 4 nightcrawlers + calcium D3. I tried to grab him to get him out, but I made the mistake of coming in from the sides and he started panicking a little. I tried to tilt the feeding enclosure a bit to encourage him to come down but didn't factor in the amount of water that was in it so he slid down and bonked his mouth on the side of the acrylic. :'( He seemed fine... but was scared and probably annoyed. I scooped him back and he eventually settled back into his enclosure. He stayed out for most of the night surpringly settled half-way into a little shallow burrow. He didn't bury himself until after I turned on his morning lights around 7am. I fell back asleep and got up around 8am and by that time he was gone.

Peach was fully buried all day but he actually came out on his own in the evening. He emerged from his burrow (closer to the water dish) and ran to the far right side of the tank. He sat under the coin plant + next to the tunnel hide and faced the glass outward. It was a bit silly, he just sat there for most of the night until burrowing kind of under the tunnel hide but he must've knocked it over when he dug because the following morning, I found it kicked over and standing upright.

Peach was burrowed all day. Just for temporary fun, we decided to relocate his enclosure in our bedroom. He probably would've stayed burrowed all night but my husband really wanted to dig him out so he could sit with us (him still inside of his enclosure). I pulled him out and he sat there for most of the night. I also realized I needed to moisten the soil more, maybe the top layers were too dry and that was part of the reason why he'd been so buried recently. After I wet the top (pouring dechlorinated water in), he stayed up on top for awhile. He eventually shed again. I didn't offer him food since it was a rest and digest day.

Peach was underground. I dug him out pretty late in the evening. He was looking plump. I moved him to his feeding enclosure. He took a large juicy worm + multivitamin pretty easily. After that he peed in his feeding enclosure. I tried to offer another worm but he kept spinning around and then kind of tried jumping out. I reluctantly moved him out back to his tank (reluctantly because I wasn't done offering food). Of course, he starts wiping his face once he's inside and practicing toe luring. He's hungry right? Fine, I'll try offering a worm inside just this once. He starts jeering at it with his mouth closed and turning away from it. Then he starts puffing up and shedding. After he was done, he moved to a spot under the plant and next to the tunnel hide but not in it. My in-laws said they heard him croaking pretty loud in the early morning.

Observations

Activity level: burrowed, dug out, peed, shed

Size: plump but not as small even after he peed

Peach was fully buried as expected but around 9:40am, he jumped out of his burrow (which had been sealed before). He jumped into the tunnel hide and then turned around to face outward. I was very surprised but also relieved he'd get some UVB light exposure. I was so shocked that he came out randomly. He stayed out for about 20 minutes before jumping back into his hole and reburying like nothing ever happened.

Later that night, I dug him out for his dinner and offered him one juicy nightcrawler and a baby nightcrawler both covered in calcium + D3. He took them happily and after he finished, I placed him back into his enclosure. He sat out for awhile and then completed a shed.

Observations

Activity level: burrowed, surfaced for 20 min, shed

Appetite: 2 nightcrawlers (one large, one x-small) + calcium D3
