I would not move her just now. She needs to be fully settled, well grown and very tame before moving. She is little just now anyway and this cage will be fine for now as long as her wheel is big enough and her back is not bent when running. A Wodent wheel is a good choice (Junior size) Don't worry too much about tunnels as you can take a step back with these if she hides in them or sleeps in there as they get all hot and steamy and can give them chest infections and skin problems which would not be a good thing for your little one. Probably around 3-4 months would be a good age to move up to a bigger cage and a large flat open cage like a zoozone is better than a small modular cage. Have a look in the cage review section and the show us your cage threads for ideas. Cages are not so great in the USA but making a bin cage might be a good idea for you?
