excellent thinking "outside the box"! of course "gopher dirt" should obviously be good for burrowing, excellent connection, i had never even thought of that : )



play with it for a week or two, experimenting with moisture content. we add 1/2 to 1 gallon a week to our 4 ft cages, and just from those first pics, i would guess you could use a bit more water content. just pour some in on the side, it will evenly enrich the soil, and misting is just a waste of time.



try the finger test for the soil, it should be moist enough to be able to stick your finger down in it, and leave a perfect impression when you pull it back out : )



best of luck!
