Husbandry

Espèce rare chez nous mais elle est importée. Cette girelle est facile à reconnaitre à sa tache située derrière l'oeil. Comme toutes les espèces il va aussi accepter rapidement la nourriture de substitution. Comme ses collègues il va s'enterrer le soir dans le sable. Ce dernier doit donc lui être apporté en quantité suffisante.
