Lovely big tank! Lucky Pumpkin.

I agree with Engel. Robos love a sand bath and millet sprays to nibble on. I use a biscuit tin for a sand bath which has his wheel in it. You can order millet sprays online and the ones for budgies in the pet shop are suitable too. Pet shops sell plenty of herbs for enrichment. My Robo loves the log with the holes in it and zooms over and under the long bendy bridges.

Remember to support a large sand bath underneath because sand is heavy and a Robo may burrow under it. I use the Ferplast guinea pig houses minus the front panel as supprts. There's one burried under the substrate on each end of my Robo's tank to support the sand bath and ceramic mushroom. Here's a photo of my set up.
