How big is too big?
Well, I got to thinking about cage size and was wondering if a cage can be too big? I understand about cleaning and liners, and there was ample space for a cage, can it be too big? I'm guessing it would have to be a c&c cage, too.
 ...my randomness..  ....hahaha

Re: How big is too big?
I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I would guess that it can't be too big. I guess it would depend on how big the cage is. How big is it?

Re: How big is too big?
One drawback with a BIG cage is having to heat the entire cage. If your going use a CHE you may need more than one setup to keep it warm.

Re: How big is too big?
Okay thanks, just curious. I don't have a hedgie yet, so no cage.
I had this crazy idea of a hedgehog mansion in a like a 10x10 room [all to its own, heated properly] with c&c cage walls everywhere and fleece drapings, like a castle!

Re: How big is too big?
hahaha Yeah it was!
But I don't think that big of a cage would be feasible for anyone, it would be awesome though!

Re: How big is too big?
You might find that if your hedgie has that much space to roam, it might get less social with you- that's the effect I've gotten from giving mice or rats far more room than is generally accepted for one, they get more wild.
Not saying that would for-sure happen, but just a thought.

Re: How big is too big?
Wow, I never thought of that either! If you have a room that big, maybe you could just have the cage in one corner and then have the rest for play-time. That way he could still roam and stuff.
