Eric I have no idea if it is "normal" or not. I have noticed that our female who is experiencing her first winter with us has also been hiding under her paper towels. We got her back in April & this is a new behavoir for her. Could it have something to do with cooler temperatures?
Mine dig also, sometimes just to get under the paper towels. When they go into the hide box with peat moss then they really have fun digging like a dog:main_thumbsup:
