Cardboard maze for the playpen, total cost about two pounds. Four cereal boxes, a roll of tape and a pair of scissors. He spent forty minutes in it the first night and now runs straight to it the moment I open the pen.

The four cereal boxes detail makes it doable. Most of the ones I see are much more involved.

How long did it survive before he chewed through it?

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

Wheel size guide after trying four of them (with photos)

I have now owned four wheels. Here is what I would tell my past self.

The single rule that matters: they have to run with a flat back. If the spine curves while running, the wheel is too small, no matter what the shop label says. For a dwarf that means 20cm minimum, and honestly...

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

The mounting point about facing a wall is new to me. Trying that tonight.

Best bedding for burrowing — paper or hemp?

Paper is cheap and easy to find but it does not hold tunnels at all in my experience.

Hemp seems to hold shape better. Anyone compared them side by side over a few weeks?

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.
