Default Re: New owner.. Feeling anxious!

Thanks for the advice again
Cage is ordered...due to come Tuesday but I am guessing I am going to have to clean the tubes before then as Jasper will have been in there for a week if I wait til Tuesday.
There are a lot of holes (above and below) in the tunnel so I don't think the wood shavings are getting too damp and hopefully fumes/ammonia from urine not an issue yet... but given that Jasper has been pretty much in the tunnel most of the time, a clean out would seem overdue.
But I'm weighing up the stress it's going to cause him if I have to dismantle the tunnels possibly with him still in... on the basis that he's not yet tame enough to come out to rest of cage when we're there....with the risk that if I don't clean it out soon, I may be risking infection/illness which would obviously be worse. What do you think and if I should clean things out properly before Tuesday, any advice for getting him out of tunnel with minimum stress... what sort of recepticle would it be best to transfer him in to?
