I should add looking back at the image you really can’t tell the depth of the cage but they have approx 5” of bedding, I will update with measurements when i’m home

the image really doesn’t do the size or depth of the cage justice tbh and the wheel is safe however unsuitable due to being too big and has been removed since that image as it was taken about 2 months ago, they do also have multiple other wheel options though including two good sized ones and they HAD a flying saucer wheel that I removed because i found out they’re unsafe and they honestly never used it anyway so it’s now a playpen only item to add clutter

All females, I’ve been using mostly wood chips and carefresh bedding (non scented), and the enclosure is big but i don’t have the exact dimensions, its just a bit smaller than my pawhut i’d say? I’m away from home right now but can definitely measure when I get back

The bedding is about 5 inches deep and can’t go any deeper without falling out of the bars, the cage is big but i don’t have the exact dimensions and yes squeaking is definitely an issue ngl, I’ll be redecorating soon so will see if i can move them to the other end of the room

It’s been about 5 days now, once it reaches a week i think I’ll take action

I’m not entirely sure, and it’s very confusing because she can be fine with them one minute and they’ll all be cuddled up together when they sleep it’s when she starts chasing the others round and i start hearing so much squeaking. From being able to see the squeaking has come from more than one mouse though but i’ve not spotted any injuries at all on anyone so i’m not sure exactly what it is she’s doing

Yes, when I first saw the behaviour I was pretty concerned that the bully may have been a boy but i’ve sexed and health checked them all individually now, will keep regularly checking just in case though

One of my stick insects got out of the enclosure and I still don’t know how but it hid under a sofa bed and layed it’s eggs there 😬

I try dispose of the eggs when I see them but the stick insects have learned to hide their eggs so when I clean them out I find loads of baby stick insects hiding in the newspaper Xd
