alright ill get a bucket with some like dirt

 

[Bay687]

do you think any dirt is fine, like sand you find at parks, will that work, sand by the playground

Bay- We always use washed playsand and it works very well. Make sure it is not soggy, just wet enough to hold a tunnel. Also, may be blurry pics, but her eyes look a bit sunken in. I would bump up the humidity a bit just in case.

i just layed play sand in there... its probaly 6 inches tall in one of the corners

I suggest putting it in a bucket, and at least 10" deep. If it is just piled up in a corner, and she actually decides to use it, it is very likely her tunnel could collapse on her. We use small white buckets from Home Depot for all of out girls. They are about 2 dollars a piece and the perfect size. Having a solid bucket versus a clear one also gives them a bit more privacy when it comes time to lay.
