The heavy hide on the deep corner is a small thing that makes a huge difference.

A week of doing nothing sounds slow until you realise it saves you a month later.

Handling over the bed instead of standing up is such a simple fix and I had never thought about it.

Saving this. The point about not keeping the cage near a TV is one I had not thought about at all.

Waking them up to handle them is the mistake everyone makes. Six months in and I still regret it.

What bedding do you use at that depth? Dust is my problem once it gets deeper.

The bit about not fully cleaning is the one I wish I had read a year ago. I was doing a full change weekly and wondering why he was miserable.

Welcome back to it. Bedding depth is the other thing that changed completely since you last kept them.
