## Before arrival

- [ ] The substrate is its principal food. Prepare sufficient nutritious material before obtaining animals.
- [ ] Wildform proposes 40 × 30 × 30 cm for a small assessed group, with at least roughly 10–15 cm of suitable leaf/wood-rich substrate and secure ventilation.
- [ ] Run and record the completed habitat through daytime and overnight conditions before arrival.

## Routine checks

- [ ] Check surface food hygiene and the moisture refuge without digging.

## Regular care and records

- [ ] Replenish nutritious leaves/wood and inspect population density.

## When to seek help

- [ ] Review substrate depletion, pesticide contamination and moisture after losses; do not dig up a moulting animal.
- [ ] Arrange appropriate professional assessment for injury, sudden decline or repeated care problems.
