Also you’ll be wanting a good 6-12” of bedding in there for burrowing in, try to get as much in as you can.

Ah don’t worry too much about the playpen, you can still continue to get her out just maybe try different things. She sounds lovely, so sweet that she’ll take treats from you already. But yes once in the new cage do let her get used to her surroundings.
I will look for something higher than 12” for sure then. I’m going to get her the 12” silent spinner and order a wodent wheel (because I’ve heard the silent spinners don’t always work well). Thanks again for helping! I appreciate it
