Wow that is a lovely home for your little ones, but i must say mine is somewhat the same in size, but again i must say my champi looks cramped in his crib considering his size, he is about a year and 4 months now.
QUOTE="Clamhandsmcgee, post: 1501074, member: 40265"]I use Cypress mulch in part of my enclosure, Coco coir in part, and soil from my backyard in part of it. That way he can have different "climates.". I keep the Coco coir pretty wet, the mulch not as wet, and the soil even less wet. I have a...
