Default Re: What do you think the minimum cage size should be?

I agree and I feel that new pet owners should be given actual examples of what cages those might be as it's not always easy to visualise based on just measurements unless you get the tape measure out. I know you couldn't cover every cage on the market but in a lot of cases I see people asking which cages are suitable for a particular species rather than thinking in terms of size in actual figures.

I agree with this point as well and found that James has done better with the entrance to his house being that little bit more private and under cover. Adding a bendy bridge worked for him but there are other options that are available on the market that provide this.
