Thank you all. Yes I saw the shark one cypher! I was in two minds - it would be big enough though. But quite like the more enclosed ones. I think the strawberry one would just be big enough but the larger ones have more room to do things inside or move a bit. I hadn’t thought of that particular Rodipet one - has assumed they were quite large but in checking not much bigger than the old tree trunk one. That is a good possibility- even if a bit expensive. Wouldn’t be able to see much of him in there but he’d probably like it
. I suspect the one I ordered may be a bit small too but we’ll see - it could still be an out of cage toy.
Ria thank you yes some of these things aren’t that well made. Easier to sand wood but sharp bits on ceramic would be a no no. Hope the one from Germany is ok as it would be a pain to return!
Tai - thanks! Yes a terracotta flower pot is an option as well or any clay pot with a suitable opening. I like the flower pot idea on its side idea for substrate level - this one is to sit on a shelf. And be a bit enclosed.
I’ve been having some much needed retail therapy the last few days and planning to upgrade Pickle. He needs a bigger house as he is so huge now and a bigger house won’t fit in the mickey xl and still leave him enough space. The Barney doesn’t work for him and I’m getting another Savic plaza for him and a large labyrinth house like Moo has (who is smaller!). And his wheel needs replacing as well - he has hammered the wood one so it’s scraping now!
So can’t spend too much on a ceramic hide but need a few extra things for the cage and they are always popular.
