I'm trying to do the maths lol! 1000 square centimetres is 150 square inches? Which is about 40cm by 25cm cage size. I guess that is fair for an absolute minimum but wouldn't leave a lot of room for enrichment. It could do to be a bit bigger maybe. So maybe an absolute minimum, a recommended minimum and a range of "ideal" options, including descriptions or photos of how to set up a larger cage for enrichment rather than just lots of empty space.
