Default change in sleeping habits

Hi all hope you are good. I have a 8 month old horsefield tort, iv had him for 6 weeks, every thing is good apart from the last 5 days or so. Toby has started to just stay burrowed all day then the nxt day get up eat, bath, bask, the nxt day stay burrowed, nxt day eat, bath bask. Is this ok as he used to get up every day, sorry if this sounds a daft question ?? :

Hi, we would need to know more detail about his setup to be able to advise you, is he indoors on a table or outside? What are the temps you have him at? Etc

It could well be your temps along with the warmer weather outside is the problem:0)
Tortoises this time of the year should be outside enjoying the sunshine.
Burying down is a sign your tortoise is too hot or too cold.
But as has been said we need to know more about your setup.
Temps?
housing?
Diet?
inside or out?
Runny nose?
Clear bright eyes?
Sorry but all of these are needed to be able to help:0)
