They hide for alot of reasons, most of which are not anything to worry about. They are nocturnal so they will hide most of the day, usually, and come out at night to play. If they are fairly new to your home then they may be hiding so that they can destress. This is normal and you should not dig them up. If you are curious smooth the surface of the substrate before you go to bed at night, then when you get up in the morning you could see little footprints from when they came out to play.
