I already knew all about the burrows, it's common knowledge.



I also know they close their eyes when stressed, even though so many people call it relaxed.



Seems like everyone is fixated on what they ASSUME I don't know.



Never once in any of my posts did I EVER indicate that he does not burrow, nor have I ever indicated , oh whatever....



Like I have said more than once. I do my homework.



Maybe I have not been saying much in the past, but I stop in and read every day.



My cage design was based on reading your exact words of warning to others over and over again when they proudly show off their flimsy 4x8 box with minimal 2x4 framing, and you chime in about wet cement.



So when I went about constructing my enclosure, I built it as solid as a tank, and sealed it like a submarine.



How many other people installed support columns under the cage to keep the floor from saggig? Gee maybe it's because I know that 2-2.5 feet of clay dirt will weigh in at a ton or more.



Tell me that anyone you know of has ever used sheet aluminum in the bottom, or took care to use heavy pressure treated lumber that was aged in a barn so that all hazardous vapors had already been released?? bet you can't.. I never seen one like it.



I have a brain, and I use it.



The inability to get "on the same page" is what is frustrating.
