Soil depth for Horsfields

JimC · 27-02-2008, 04:29 PM

I have just got my SW Tortoise table and I was wondering what depth of soil is best for my Horsfield? He seems to love a good dig around. Is it basically put as much is as poss without him climbing out?

Thanks

Jim

Yeah, as much as you can give. Sometimes you might lose him though. But if he is like mine its very funny when just a head appears above the surface.

How old is your tortoise?

He is two I'm told, he seems to be trying to dig in his hide, hes been doing this since I moved him.
