Ben- your set up looks great! Just watch the yellow cheese cube - not sure the holes are big enough for a syrian to fit through. Some of it depends on the size of the syrian (but they can grow quite big some of them!) but generally anythijg smaller than 5 to 6cm diameter is a risk for them getting stuck. I had one of those for our robo and I seem to remember the holes were too small for a syrian, but I might be wrong - can't remember.
I have the boi!!!! He has no name so far and I have no pics of him yet as he's sleeping in his travel cage (and wasn't happy at all when I tried to wake him up so I'm leaving him to wake up by himself later) but when I post a pic if you think of any name suggestions let me know lmao. Yeah I'll monitor him with the cheese and see if he struggles and if he does I'll take it out :)
