Answer
Hi Judy,
They are able to dig, so I am sure they will find an area that they are able to dig their way out.... with it getting colder, they may have chosen this spot to spend the winter. If you feel they need a little help...you can loosen some of the soil in an area behind or along side the stoop...trying to hide it from your landlord...maybe behind a plant?
