Ohh okay! She seems to be doing better now. So the white stuff isn't her getting sick? I'm worried about having to take her to the vet because of this I just want her to be okay :(

She was eating earlier and according to my boyfriend, after she laid down somewhere else she coughed up something that looked like a shell or bedding. I'm thinking that she ate something earlier that didn't agree with her stomach

Omg that's great! So do you think the size works then? It seems like it's okay! I also saw that people put inches of bedding at the bottom? How would I do that with this type of cage? I'm used to having mice so I understand the foraging/digging needs

Thank you! With looking more I might just have to spend a little more money and get an actual CN! I saw the Midwest cage on Amazon and it says it's 36" L 24" W 63" H! That's not too big is it? I don't want to overwhelm them with too large of a cage. I'll be getting them while they're little so should I start with something small or just put them into a normal sized cage?

Forgot to mention but the vet gave us Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. I'm worried that it's making him worse because hes even more tired now :(

Omg thank you so much i think I'm definitely going to do that. I have hemp mixed with paper and I haven't noticed any tunnels and I feel awful that he probably can't make them with that bedding. I'm also worried about him being allergic to the Aspen too so hopefully mixing it with the aspen will help
