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.

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.

Hemp held shape much longer in my cage. Paper collapsed overnight every time.

Does hemp hold up in the pee corner the same way? Paper falls apart for me there within a day.

Two weeks of each here. Hemp for tunnels, paper for the nest itself. Neither wins outright.

Paper holds a tunnel if you pack it down, hemp is better straight out of the bag. I ended up mixing the two.

Is there any wetness around the tail at all? That is the one thing that turns it into an emergency for me.

The fact that he is still eating is a good sign. It is when they stop that it gets serious.

Looks great. Do you have a photo of the inside now that he has moved in?

What sand are you using? I have been nervous about dust.

Worth going through the rest of the bag for anything else sharp. I found a piece of wire in mine once.
