Well,I saw your reply after finally settling on the X-Large Habitat Deluxe or something like that. It's also on Amazon.
I read sooooo many reviews on the Midwest one and finally decided not to risk of because it will be on the floor and it has a canvas bottom.
But the super absorbent cloths (piano cloths! Brilliant!) and fleece led me on yet another round of research about piggies bedding and I will be going that route for sure. There's no way I'm going to continue to use paper bedding with such a massive cage and fleece will be prettier. And it's less messy!
I'm almost as excited as my daughter to see our piggie popcorning in his new mansion.
Then the plan is to introduce him to a friend. If anyone knows about how to best do that,please let me know.
How do I make sure the pal is male?
And that they will get along?
Anything else I should know about a pair of males versus a single male?
Our pet is about 18 mo old.
