I’m genuinely starting to wonder if Juno has enough enrichment in her new bin cage. She has ~10 inches of bedding.

Thank you Lilly for this wonderful siggy!

This is a good cage, but I would probably add a few more hideouts and tunnels. A multichamber hideout (can be made from cardboard) would be great to fill in some of the extra space! :D

I think this is a lovely cage. What's in that round dish in the top right corner?

There’s some bedding and food that Juno stashed (:

Ah ok, I couldn't see that.Might be cool to add some eco earth in that dish sometime and I like Tiny's suggest of a cardboard hideout. =)

Ah I see, might be cool to add some eco earth in there for some digging and I like Tiny's suggestion of a cardboard hideout. =)
