So following on from my previous thread a while ago asking for advice about which small animal to go for, I've decided to go ahead with GPs. Went to my local animal rescue and re-homing place today and they don't have any right now, but I've just noticed from the website that the next nearest place does, so planning to phone about going to see them this week - exciting .
I know they need company, and it looks as though they rehome in pairs, so I'll be getting two. Is an indoor cage about 1 metre 20cm ok? I've also read that they should have outdoor time so I'd get an outdoor run for them too - when they're new will it unsettle them to be moved from their cage to outside and back every day though? Is there a better way to manage this? I don't think permanently outside would work - there are loads of foxes in this area and presumably that would be stressful for them even if the cage is secure?
I know they need food, water, fresh vegetables, hay - anything else? What should I line the cage with - sawdust? Anything extra for bedding?
Thanks in advance.
