I am redoing my 9-year-old desert tortoise's burrow. I have never gotten it right and am determined to make it right this time. I probably could use some help and wonder if anyone knows of someone that builds burrows in Tucson. It will be a cinder block and cement board construction build into the berm left from the old burrow. Thanks! Ann M. Tucson

Here's a great reference I saw years ago.

OK! The Dougal's new digs are ready for him to move back in. I don't think he likes it. It's pretty big for him, even though I put I put 1x2 "grow bars" on either side. He's gone in a few times, but won't stay.

Maybe its the shag carpeting? The chandelier?
