One of my biggest problems was the lack of water. The pet store said they didn't need a lot of water. I thought Tank was getting enough from greens and soakings. He lived in a state of dehydration for a long time. I'm convinced this led to his pyramiding. Now he is on the correct diet (75% grasses/hay and 25% weeds/greens) and given access to water at all times. I live in upstate New York and have trouble with humidity levels. Half his enclosure is 50% coconut coir/50% play sand that I wet daily. The other half is hay for grazing. I also provide a humidifier right next to the enclosure. In warmer weather he's outside.
