This quote is from Dix's site:
"For most cages we also add a nest box to simulate a burrow/sleeping chamber and the naturally higher humidity contained
there-in. This is usually made from a Rubbermaid "Roughneck" brand 3.3 gal. or larger soft plastic tub. We then insert a piece of
3" diameter pipe into the upper side of the box to act as the "burrow" leading to the nest/sleeping "chamber". The tube then extends
approx. 18" from the side of the tub with the end touching the ground, preferably along the back wall of the cage. We prefer soft
PVC drainage pipe as it's flexible, cheap and ribbed for easy footing. Fill the tub with only very slightly damp 50/50 sand/potting soil"
All Robyn(and others willing to experiment) is doing is skipping the use of a seperate burrow box and using a large enclosure where micro habitats can be created.
