Dimebag has recently become obsessed with burrowing! He wasn't bothered at first but woke up the other morning to see a tail poking out from under the aspen. Now there's tunnels every where!!

Trevor is also a burrower. Ive noticed that to get into some of his hides, rather than going in the normal way he burrows underneath them, weird little thing lol.

The corn and house snake burrow.. I give them about 3 inches deep of megazorb and it holds tunnels brilliantly. It is a bit like whack-a-mole trying to find them.
