you have said a number of times, in posts devoted solely to saying it, you don't want to use soil. that's fine. i just don't know why you want to keep posting that. are you trying to convince yourself of that?



i am just sharing, and exploring some theories with a handful of other keepers here. no one is forcing you to follow along, do your own thing.



you do confuse HUMAN emotions and thoughts with URO "emotions and thoughts", but with more time and experience, you will get over that. look up "anthropomorphising" and learn what it means, and how it applies to you. it can lead you down some goofy, and awkward roads, such as sacrificing the health and "happiness" of your Uro (from the ANIMAL'S point of view) to satisfy your OWN desires to "play" with and see the animal, and thinking that it will be "sad" when it misses play time, as opposed to being "sad" that it doesn't have a proper hide spot, security, and tools that it recognizes as natural and instinctive (much more likely and natural).



just keep the Uro as you have it, and go "by the book". when summer comes, if you still want to dig, then go do it.



in the meantime, you don't want to do it. we believe you
