Using a UVB light and a basking light and the subtrate ive been using is straw pellets (thats what i think it is, there was no lable on the bag the shop keeper asured me it was suitible tho)
Im worried hes many ill. ive checked for runny noes and other signs but everything seems fine.
been handling him as little as possible to let him settle in. apart from ploping him in a bath :3
Ive also been told he might just be getting ready to hibernate
Any help would be nothing short of amazing i want to give him the best care possible.
ive only have him for little over 4 days!
sorry for the long post >.<
p.s i say he but the pet shop said the little one was to young to tell : D

Hello!
The recommended substrate is topsoil and playsand. Horsefields' like to burrow, so the topsoil offers a realistic environment.
Hope this helped
