Littlefoot's digs - day 3
Any suggestions welcome...
I buried some drain pipe hides.. they have dirt on the bottom for a natural floor.
I dumped in some forest floor.
And made a basking platform with a ramp, he can hide under it or sit on it.

Re: Littlefoot's digs - day 3

Re: Littlefoot's digs - day 3
 I feel like you'll never find him in there... him being so small and so much space and leaves and... you get the idea.

Re: Littlefoot's digs - day 3
Be careful with the corrogated plastic, I've seen animals get bad gashes from them. I duct tape the sharp edges. Also, having too many can deter him from digging and burrowing naturally. I'd add a bit more clutter, too, like logs and what not.

Re: Littlefoot's digs - day 3
The clay will hold a burrow.
I also have some little half log things I am going to set in there.
Still have to clutter it up a bit more.
As for cage size, it will be great, once the wee sprout figures out there's no predators in there it will be like a child at an amusement park.

About a foot now.
The dirt I just dumped in was really wet and muddy, so I packed it down good.
Lots of worms already in it.

Only 2 short pipes. I will sand the edges, duct tape scares me, if it peels back that adhesive is nasty.

my thoughts as well! would be interesting to lose the little guy in his enclosure lol
Wouldn't it also be tough to feed him live crickets or roaches in there? As in wouldn't alot of them die or escape before lil foot ever found them?

Yes, I found grubs, some other assorted bugs, with a baby sav in there they won't last long.

That part actually makes it perfect! He will have to search and scavenge and hunt to find his food. That is always a good thing for a cold blooded animal. Dont worry though, he will find them eventually! These are smart animals, I worry more that mine isnt getting enough stimulation.
I would think about making that dirt twice as deep Wayne. The deeper the dirt, the more they have the ability to have differing levels of humidity (by digging tunnels/burrows). Plus it'll save you having to do it later when he gets bigger...and youre older
