Default Re: Behaviour change after an escape

That's excellent news! They do love their wheels and it's much easier to run in the bigger wheels I think he'll love the Barney too. Come on here when you want to move him over - there are ways of doing it to minimise the stress of the change so they settle in quickly. But basically - move everything across without cleaning anything, including all the old bedding (on top of the new as new cage base bigger). And try and keep a similar layout with house and wheel in similar positions etc. I also tend to let them have a play in the new cage, with substrate in and a familiar toy from the old cage, the day before moving them over - that way they've had a chance to adjust and scent it a bit.
