In my 20 gallon high, my krib is digging a big hole under my baby grass stuff. I know this is normal, but I am going to gravel vac today. Is it fine if I disturb the hole he has dug? What happens if I tear it down on accident? Will he/she, I don't know, redig the hole? What should I do? Also, does thsi mean they are healthy ?

They sound healthy to me...

How many caves do you have? Mine weren't big diggers, but they had 4-5 caves for one pair.

it sounds like he is trying to make his own cave.

My male did the same thing a few days ago (if not a week)... I think the pot/cave entrance to much into the gravel and the female can't get out, so the male might have been trying to make an exit for the female...

Anyways, the krib might be trying to make a place to call his territory.
