They dig, and they are very powerful, quite capable of destroying things. They don't usually like being handled and it can be difficult to do if you don't know exactly what you are doing. They pick up paralysis ticks quite frequently. Quite happy to bury themselves in the ground all day with only a few spines sticking out.

And feeding is labour intensive. You have to make a slurry that is almost liquid, comprising meat, milk raw egg and other additives. As a result, their poop stinks (because of the meat).

Best kept by zoos and fauna parks IMO.
