steve mine were like this too(so dont worry ) i mean mine were not to fond of coming out of there home ether. but saying this mine was a smaller colony, so there needs are more with your ones as there bigger colony

Hey guys...
Ive just checked my Nylanderi today.. and they have sealed themselves inside the nut with the sand loam.. is this normal behaviour??

[kashmir79]

well they know what their doing, dont worry

probaly because they want to hibernate more ?

most animals close themselves off in winter.

[JimmyVe]

In deed, most species close up there nest entrance if they hibernate.
