digging dish

[Spencer]

So i am getting a baby this week and i thought a dish included in her tank with stuff to dig in would be fun. What would be the best? I have heard that carefresh bedding is good for them to burrow in.

I have heard of a few substrates that would work well for a digging dish.

-Flax seeds (digestable)
-Alfalfa pellets

I hope one of these might work!

Babies benefit from a bare and simple set up. A rock and a dish on paper towels in a 20 gallon long tank. That's it. You may have other things to worry about like the baby not eating or being scared of you. If you have such problems, you may want to hold off on a dig box.

I saw a video on YouTube with a flaxseed dig box. Looks fun

okay thanks. flax seed seems like the best. i will hold off on it then till she gets used to the cage.

You can thank my wife for the flax seed idea.

Here's the video of Draper digging in the flax.

Nope, never has. He prefers the water to do his business.
