a 7-8 foot male BCI, very healthy and active, will destroy the paper any way you lay it! lol ESPECIALLY in such a Small Cage !

Did you say he was just upgraded to something 24" wide? that is only 2'... he should be in something 4-6' wide minimum. How long and high is it?

I have taped the paper overlaps before, which works for animals not as active and not as large, but they still manage to get under the ends..

The best bet would be cage liners.. I use DCL. Once sheet, thick, absorbant, doesn't move..

You could also use Aspen.. which would probably be patted down a bit from the weight and not move around much.


take care, Joe
