Enclosure Size Question...try again..

Dpoling Feb 02, 2009 04:21 PM

This is an 18Qt Sterilite box. She is about 5 months old. Is it time to put her into something bigger? If so, what size would you recommend?

That is plenty large enough for now although would not hurt to go larger. Ultimately to have around 4 - 6 square feet of floor area depending on configuaration of enclosure.

Thanks Dave. I will go look to see if I can find something a little bigger.

Dan,
...No hurry on something larger. Like Dave said that is big enough for now.

Thanks Jeff. I will just start looking for options for the future. She is doing very well; I can't wait for her to get bigger and color up more!
