While I can't provide a larger enclosure to her right now, the playpen is a good advice! I have built a playpen and have been playing with her lots, it definitely helps a bit. I think I will change her enclosure quite often as well to keep her busy!

thanks, I may look into that it would probably be the easiest update to the lid that could help!

I want to order this for my syrians detolf lid as she keeps monkey barring do you think this fine a mesh would work for a syrian or does it just stop the chewing? As if she can still climb it I wouldn't want it to trap her toes! Thank you!

I'm not familiar with Syrians or the size of their feet as I've only ever had dwarves, but if you are in the UK I could cut a small piece off the remaining mesh and send it to you so you can see what you think.

That's so kind thank you! I actually did just go ahead and order it as its not too expensive if it doesn't work and i'll supervise her for the first night its in her cage thank you for the suggestion!
