Ha ha. Well it's a good size and I don't think there is a bigger cage available in the US without going to a tank. You can make a lot out of the size with set up though and use the roof and bars to attach things for enrichment. Do you have a photo of your set up? Most people don't put enough substrate in or provide a house that is big enough or dark inside - that makes a lot of difference to them settling.

I had a "roof run" in one of my cages where a rat tube was tied to the roof, leading from the shelf into a hanging rat sputnik. That gives a whole load more places to go and some variety.
