I got them a new playground

It's HUGE! I could get in it, but I didn't assemble it full size - there are plenty of panels so you can customize it - and I will put wheels on the bottom. I'm going to put their old table-top playground in there, plus add a bunch more stuff. I really like this because the sides are nearly 18" high and are slick, so no climbing out (or falling off the table) and they can go in for a few hours at a time and get a change of scenery.

Very nice! Where did you get it?

It's from Amazon. I looked at a ton of others but they all had mesh sides which are fine for guinea pigs or hedgehogs, but not mice or rats. I'm quite impressed with this. If you are in the US I'm sure it will cost a lot less.

This is a great idea, I'd love to see it all set up! I wish I had space for something like this... Or no cats. Razz

Sadly, my cats and dogs succumbed to old age, so no need for tops to protect mice.

This is the preliminary setup, with their former tabletop playground made from cardboard boxes, some rope, and tunnels, wheel, etc. I intend to add more to it. This is so big - nearly 1200 sq. in - they were a little freaked at it, so for now I put them in for just short periods until they are more comfortable. Smile
