Default Re: Where does the continuous floor space rule come from?

I've owned different kinds of animals and each time the requirements the petshops or animal sellers in mass give are far too small and geared towards selling animals at any cost. If you look at any cage or animal enclosures in petshops the majority are far too small. I've seen flying squirrel, guinea pig, reptiles, etc that are far too small. I also queried why not two levels and using space going up but when you meet the size requirements you will quickly see that it's just not big enough. I went onto YouTube and watched video after video of natural habitats for hamsters and saw why this rule stands. If you want to proactively see for yourself and put aside any scientific evidence from others and use your own findings draw the size area you are wanting with two layers and see if your hamster can have everything in on one level. I used Trixie, Niteangel and rosewood furniture. They give you good sizes.
