hahahahahahaha as you know, I go by the book of nature first, and other books by people doing the best they can to describe nature, and last by husbandry books.
One more clarification, this is for keepers who are interested, those not interested, its not for you.




Top two photos, show a hog digging down, you can see dry sand and moist sand, these two pics clearly show type of sand and moisture of sand.
The bottom two pics of a hog coming out from in the ground, saw me and flipped out. These two also show the preferred substrate.
And lastly, finding this sand, using this sand in captivity is EASY to do. Its what they recognize, their behaivors are based on this type of sand. In nature, they do crawl over unsuitable substrate and find this and use it. Its what they know. When stuck with other substrates, they exist, not live. They live in this stuff. And if it sounds like preaching, yup I am forced to at times. whoops sorry the first pic is out of focus, picked the wrong one. Conversation welcome
