Welcome to HC and to Maisie. You have been given excellent advice already so I won't repeat it only underline it. It is rather disheartening to bring home a new baby and then realise that all you have done is not the best set up. Don't worry- we have all been there and pass on the advice based on our own mistakes! A cardboard house can be made easily either from a shoe box or something like a tea bag box. Empty out tea bags, cut out the base so the house sits on the substrate for burrowing, cut out a door and leave the hinged top so that you can easily peep inside to check on things. Cheap and easy to replace when needed.
