Do these cucks burrow deep into the sand or just skirt the top 1/4 inch or so?
I have a black cucumber and a Tigertail cucumber and they both tend to work on the top layer of sand only. Although as they move the sand around they do eventually get to clean the lower areas. :)

Awesome. Thanks for responding. I only have a edible that seems to do the top later only, but I wasn't sure if it was because I don't have powder sand and it wasn't able to properly eat. Sand cuke poop everywhere so assume it's eating.

Pooping is good. :)
