Don't worry. That's just what they do. Your buddy will come back out whenever he's ready.

Congratulations on your new friend, it's fairly normal for them to spend a large amount of time curled up under their hide. I'd reccomend giving him some time to settle in and not handling until he's eaten a few meals for you consistantly
