Default Re: Taming advice needed + mealworms question

Last thing: could you show us your set up or tell us how big is your cage? Many female syrians need A LOT of space (100x50 cm). Maybe she needs more. Also make sure she has a 11inch min. wheel. And keep us posted
So it seems like disliking mealworms is mostly a syrian thing
Her cage is just about this size, and her wheel is a little bit bigger.
I will try to use bath as her playpen, but was empty before (with blanket inside, of course), so I will try to put some toys, boxes and foods around. How much time should I let her spend in there daily?
