It has to be moist enough for the hole to hold its shape but not wet. My concern when looking at your drawing is about the depth. It should be 5-6″ deep. It is similar to my outside setup for my dbts. I have a ramp they climb up and they do dig nests in the tub I set up. It is surrounded by screen on all sides but the one facing the tub. That way they can’t get out. Good luck, Vickie
