Hi Squirrel, I used an X-Acto knife as well as a serrated knife, and my bare hands to pick out little rocky divots.

Ok, last question (I think, LOL)---did you use just regular GreatStuff, or the special one made for Ponds? I've seen that one mentioned somewhere on here before....

Yep, turns out I got 3 violas, not blueberries. I also got 2 straws. Everyone seems to be in good health.

My blues are so friendly it's insane. I've never had such personal hermits!

You have to go to the website and locate a pet shop near you that is supplied by Seagrest Farms; then contact that pet shop and ask them.
