I've just did a full clean out of my hoggies little home, she's now exploring her nice clean home.

She's in the small section of a large flat faunarium and I had 2 of the sides covered so as not to stress her out with lots of space.

I've uncovered these sides so she can now see out a lot more, do you think she'll be fine with this and not stress out? She's got plenty aspen to borrow into, she's got a long kitchen roll tube and 3 loo roll tubes filled with aspen and they're covered with a good layer of aspen, so she should feel nice and secure and snug.

Am just wondering if she'll be ok with this, she's also put on 2g since I last weighed her which is good.

Mine spend most of their time against the side of their fauns either climbing on greenery, investigating the fins in the lid and even sleeping so I don't think being able to see out stresses them too much.
