Hi, could I get opinions on my cage set up? Here is the link to the photos: I just want to be sure it is good for my two boys
Anything I should do to improve? Is it good?
Thank you :) :) hope that's ok to ask x

As not much of the cage shows in the picture it’s tricky to comment fully but from what I can see it’s fine.

Could you tell us how big it is.
Two boys require a 5x2 c&c.
They need multiple hides, all with two exits.
Multiple hay piles etc
 
I can see from the photos that the size is 5x2.

The base seems fine to me. Just for me personally this would be way too messy.
You can buy a large plastic storage bin for under the bed (flat). Cut off part of the front. You can put all the hay in here (with newspapers or bedding underneath). It remains much neater and you catch a lot of pee.
I don't think there is any fleece liner at the top. I would add this. Don't they pee directly on the corex?
Maybe add one more tunnel and hide. And use peepads voor the high trafic areas.

But these are all personal preferences. The cage seems fine to me!
 
I agree, some fleece in the penthouse would be good. I am a big fan of using bath mats/pee pads that can be changed every day or two. My personal preference too is for a hay tray/box or two if they don't like sharing. These also act as an extra hidey/bed/place to play.

Yeah it is 5x2 :-)
 
I think it’s great! I love to see them with lots of hay, they can never have enough and get so much pleasure from burrowing underneath it

You could place a towel with some fleece over in the top floor
