Nope, that's why most Chinese keepers keep them in tanks :)

Could you perhaps in the short term place the cage in a cardboard box that is larger than it to catch the 'overspill'? That's the only thing I can think of....
....if only I could place a large cardboard box around my daughter - she gives me the same problem - mess everywhere!
:wink: :lol:

The wire cages allow the bedding to spill out. Maybe a clear plastic bin to sit the cage in so you could still see her would help?
