Do you tape the joints inside and out? Mine pulls them apart from the inside.

Two pounds and forty minutes of entertainment. This is the best value in the hobby.

Five tunnels is a lot. What bedding are you using to hold them that well?

The drooling is the tell. Good that you went when you did rather than waiting another day.

Twenty centimetres of bedding is the answer to about half the behaviour problems on this site.

The back curving is the one everybody shows in photos without realising.

The window thing is underrated. Mine stopped when the cage moved out of direct sunlight.

Mine did this after switching to a scented brand. Back to unscented and it cleared in two days.

Four months and nothing to cut sounds perfectly normal for a wheel user.

Making this tonight. Did you tape the boxes flat or leave them as boxes?

Lighter colour worries me more than the softness, honestly. I would call.

Same here. As long as they are not curling or catching on fabric he is fine.

The squeaking on every rotation is such a good tell. Mine stopped the moment I changed wheels.

The stopping every few seconds was the giveaway for me too. Nobody mentions that one.
