He runs to the door now to see me but before it was difficult getting him out and I spent hours sitting in the bathroom with him letting him run around in the bath because I felt so guilty about his floor space. The amount of enrichment you can give them with a bigger cage far outweighs the small amount of stress moving causes them and he'll be so much happier in the long run
Oh wow! I think I'm having similar problems with Hammy, I also have trouble getting him out and also he is territorial, he ALWAYS sniffs me when i touch his stuff, which is understandable. Certainly considering a bigger cage.Thank you.
