Which cage?
Ok I've got a shortlist of cages to upgrade Charlie. A couple of limitations - 1) Can't fit more than 100cm cage max, so that rules out the detolf or a 4 foot tank 2) has to be 8mm bar spacing or less to be mouseproof.
I'm trying to get more floor space and was going to try and do the 30cm substrate thing, but will probably have to compromise on that now.
I had been prepared to fork out for the Falco 100 but emailed Zooplus and the latest incarnation only has one door on top so ruled that out.
So am now looking at the Ferplast Karat 100 which is 60cm high and has a 20cm base. But for half the price I could get an Alexander which only has 3cm less base height!
I've ruled out the terrarium and don't have the time, skill or concentration for anything diy! (Mainly nowhere to do diy except the living room!). Although did think I could increase the base height by putting some extra plexiglass inside the Karat.
So I guess it is down to
1) Falco 100 with top access (urgh - annoying for the price).
2) Ferplast Karat 100 - 20cm base, good shelves, 3 doors, height for a wheel above the substrate.
3) Alexander cage - because I like it and forget the 30cm deep substrate.
4) Get a 100cm tank and lid made up but think I need extra height for 100cm.
Have ruled out the Eco Habitat because the internal height is 50cm so would only have 20cm left at the top if I had 30cm substrate, plus the lid needs meshing to be mouseproof.
Any thoughts or other suggestions?!
