    Ok its been 2 days since I got my picaso trigger and he is still digging huge hole under my l/r, will this ever stop. I am afraid that the l/r will come tumbling down on him or the glass. I fill the hole he digs them out?

    rearrange your rock so it sits on the glass not on the sand.

    i doubt it will ever truly stop. when you live in a glassbox you need stuff to occupy your time. It could be worse it could chew stuff up

    Yep, they dig
    Did you not do your rock before the sand? He shouldnt be able to get under the rock

    No I did the sand then the rock, the only reason was because when I set it up I did not find the rock that I liked

    I've got a Jack Russell dog that can not dig as fast as he can

    also you can try putting down eggcrate(light diffuser) under the rock to make the sand less digable.
    if you cover it with some sand you won't know its there unless you have some burrowing animal
