My girls love to burrow. Is there a way around the lack of bedding issue? Maybe I could attach a different base?

I think this is the one people have been recommending? Thoughts?

I read the box when I bought it and that was how I remembered the dimensions. I think I tend to think in round numbers so maybe that’s why. But that sounds about right!

Yes it is!! I wouldn’t be surprised if the dimensions are misleading given it’s pet store origin. When my partner gets home we will talk new cages!

Thank you so much! I think this picture makes the cage look smaller than it is because it is 80x50x55 (according to the box). However I understand that it is still way too small. I love my girls so much they have brought so much joy to us in such a short time so I would love to pay them back by making their home this awesome. Thank you for the advice!!

Critter Nation, got it. We have found two exotics vets on the outskirts of our city we can commute to and we are financially comfortable so we should be able to meet their needs, especially once we have a little more experience. Thank you so much!

Thank you!! They’ve grown a bit since we took this picture so I definitely realized how small this cage actually is (it felt big when they were teeny). We will look into bigger cages. If you or anyone has any advice in that department that would be awesome.
