Yes, most of the time. As there are no bottoms on either of my cold frames and various plants and pots inside them he usually digs down beneath the pots.
I think terracotta pots act as a kind of storage heater (holding the heat of the day) and are that little bit warmer through the night.
Occasionally he will dig in under the Carex grasses outside the cold frame.
I just let him do as he wants. He generally knows where to go and at what time.

It's also worth remembering to be aware of potential predators, especially at night. So please bear this in mind when designing the outside area.
