Hi,
My syrian is in a glass tank with a cage attachment on top (kind of resembles a rat cage but only about 30cm high). Everything is fine, except the cage attachment has wire floor. I have tried to cover the floor with cardboard but she chews it all within 5 minutes. I've looked online and there seems to be some kind of hemp floor which you can buy but I think she would chew that as well - its pretty expensive too so I wouldnt be able to replace it every day!
I don't want to take the attachment off because she loves going up there. I know floor space is more important to hamsters than height, but she just enjoys being up there.
I'm wondering if theres any other solution to covering the floor - she is a huge chewer so obviously nothing like fleece or towel will be safe. I'm in the UK so anything I could buy in a shop here, or online, would be great x
