Species can and frequently does make a significant difference in cage size. By no means am I saying that dwarf species need tiny cages, more that they can thrive in cages which Syrians tend to do just alright in(I'd still love square meter or larger cages for all species though if properly laid out).

Soil is not safe at all and should not be used, and erinsanimals often gives unsafe DIY projects and such. I would take every bit of information they give with serious caution and not assume that everything they do is fine!
