Soil depth for Horsfields
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.
