Yes, however for a horsfield you need to make sure there is either netting underneath the ground or the sides of the enclosure are dug down deep, as they will dig very deep and may escape otherwise

Well i've been busy this weekend-

As Eddie is so small at the moment i added a partition which i will remove when Eddie is bigger.
So im gonna grow her food in the smaller section for now.

homemade cold frame at the back.

I dug down and lined it with mesh to prevent escapes. I also put some old paving slabs over a channel to aid drainage.

Ganna make a mesh top next weekend.
