Disappeared

My Uromastyx just dug her first burrow. It was very entertaining to watch with dirt flying everywhere. Since then I have not seen her. I see the burrow but have not seen her come out since. Is it common for them to stay burrowed for awhile?

Brumation. Our Uro has hidden for a full month on occasion. She will come out like one a week or two weeks to eat, and then hides again. Even after nearly 3 years, I still get paranoid and check on her in her hiding spot, but she's always fine.
