28 for a Syrian looks ridiculous in the cage until you actually watch them run in 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.

Second the wheel point especially for robos, they need the space more than the syrians in my experience.

The flat back test is the only advice that matters. Everything else is preference.

The hand measuring point is so true. My deep base turned out to be 8cm.

The 9pm thing is normal, they are just settling. Ours hid for about a fortnight at first.

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

Robos are fast. Get the biggest wheel you can fit, they cover absurd distances in a night.

How often do you leave the dish in? Mine gets it twice a week and still goes straight for it.
