They don't hibernate in the summer. If it is hiding/not eating/burrowing, it is likely too dry, or too hot -- "aestivating", which isn't really a natural seasonal behavior for the species -- at least, not one that is good to promote in captivity (I don't think they need winter hibernation either).
Make sure housing and conditions are acceptable. I'd keep it in a dimly lit (or unlit) glass or plastic enclosure with good humidity and a little ventilation, lots of natural hides (cork tubes and flats work great, and some simple plants like pathos offer cover and hold moisture well), a loose substrate that holds moisture (peat/coco fiber mix, maybe), really moist on one half and a bit less moist on the other end, that is below 70 degrees F.
