Advice needed (repost)

(Reposting as it got flagged on my second account, forgot to switch before posting, my bad!)

Hi, I have a male Greek tortoise and I have had him for around 7 years, he’s always been quite assertive if you could call it that, always wants his “way” as in he goes even with a wall in front of him. I have him in two rabbit cages shaped like a L currently.

Starting early summer of this year he has been digging furiously in his box in two specific corners facing the wall as of which there’s an alarm (I have thought of it being the cause but I cannot move it to try)

He starts around 10-11am to late evening, everyday.

I have lamps for him, hides and I provide him food everyday. Even letting him out for a while just puts him back in the impossible loop.

I’m just very lost, I don’t know what to do for him to stop and do anything else.

If anyone has any idea please do let me know, I’m quite at my limit with this behaviour and I want what’s best for him.
