One of the big benefits of tanks is that they allow for really deep substrate so I think you could put a lot more in Rambo's cage to allow for plenty of digging & burrowing opportunities, maybe add in some more toys, cardboard boxes or tubes are cheap or free simple toys that are usually really enjoyed, egg boxes & coconut hides are very popular with the hams too.

Hi, the duna multy cage is actually quite deep and he has a lot of substrate in there for digging and burrowing, as well as many cardboard tubes. He also has an egg box in there, as mentioned on the video. Thanks for your advice, but I know what I'm doing.

I agree with Cypher that even deeper substrate would be beneficial. I like the way you have set up the cage. They just love tunnels and hiding places don't they?

Beau's current set-up. Hopefully the images upload, I remember having a lot of trouble last time I posted.
She's not interested in climbing the walls of the cage anymore, and has turned her attention to burrowing so there's lots of substrate for her in there. Her nest is hidden away under the wooden bridge leading up to the flatform. There are also a couple of wooden toys under the flatform that's aren't visible!

The cage looks nice although I would replace open rung ladders with bendy bridges, the open rung ones can be difficult for them to use & have the potential for accidents.
If she really enjoys burrowing you might even be able to get a bit more substrate in there!

I know many of you have seen Zylvan's new bin layout but I thought I'd just add it in here too.

Serendipity, With a cage like that another Syrian will have to occupy? Maybe some robos too?
Cypher, your cage also looks awesome! Why is there a lid on the glass jar? Also how did you stabilize the wheel?

CB the glass jar was just a stand in for his sand bath before I moved him over, he has his old sand bath back now!
I screwed a shelf to the side of the bin for the wheel & put a couple of dowels on the shelf to stop the wheel sliding about, I was going to use my cage attachment which I only discovered after drilling a hole in the bin & fixing it on must be the wrong one! It fits but the wheel won't spin as the screw bit is just slightly too big, maybe it's for the larger wheel, I've had it ages now & couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.
