Giant Golden Mole (Chrysospalax trevelyani)

Biome and Space requirements
The Giant golden mole lives mostly in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It mainly lives in soft-soiled forests in a subterranean lifestyle. Recreating a similar habitat isn't easy, as it needs lots of foliage and soft soil. This means visitors will have a hard time viewing it.

Diet
In the wild, the Giant Golden Mole consumes a wide variety of insects, including crickets, snails, worms and grasshoppers.

As no dietary records exist for captive golden moles, We can only presume what they would eat. A good guess would be crushed, dry insectivore diet, substituted with live mealworms, crickets, waxworms, ants and maybe ground snails if available. Eurasian Moles in captivity have been known to eat lots of different food items such as liver, mealworms, mice, maggots and even shrews.
