Love Horsfields , lots of good info on here. they don't like lots of humidity. Try and keep a dry ish microclimate which means if on a table then don't mist masses. if in a viv tyr not to mist at all as it will generate bugs and Horsfields don't thrive well. My lot are on shingle and have been for over 25 years. they love it and burrow masses. all very dry except in summer on very hot days. Don't forget they come from arid steppes of Russia etc. cold at night, in fact probably freezing if you remember the guns of navarone and other such films.......they are lovely little things full of fun so lots of stimulation, hide holes etc, weeds only if can help it, my lot cherry pick dandelions only, again for over 25 years and have good shells, beautiful olive coloured and round and smooth. they are glutens and naughty. good luck CB
