Hi everyone Yesterday i spent all day making Alfie a new enclosure(with alot of help from my boyfriend!)He has spent all day trashing it but he seems to like it.I will attatch some photos underneath.:)

He is a horsefield. Until recently he was on wood chippings but since ive changed his house i have changed his substrate aswel ive kept half wood chippings and the other half topsoil and sand.Ive made it so its about 4inchs deep so he can dig and burrow but he doesnt seem interested.

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone used eco earth and if it was any good? At the minute im using 70% topsoil-30%sand.Would you recommend changing the topsoil for the eco earth or just sticking with the topsoil?

Thanks spent all weekend building it.Alfie seems to like it.

Yes he has got a combined uvb/heat lamp on one side and that reaches between 95-100. The other side his cool side reaches about 70 and that is where his hide is.

Thanks. What do you all think of this new enclosure? Is there anything else you would add or change?
