Does the perfect enclosure exist? (UK)
I’ve been raising a baby field mouse since 3 days before his eyes opened. He was found in the middle of a corridor of a busy building, no idea how he got there but safe to say his mum wouldn’t be coming back for him. Anyway, he’s 6 weeks old now and extremely tame and bonded to me. I want to give him the best possible life.
I originally bought an emergency enclosure from pets at home. It’s done the job for somewhere to keep him, and I’ve been able to provide a deep enough aspen bed and lots of clutter. However, it won’t suffice for a lifetime enclosure, and doesn’t have space for an appropriate sized wheel etc. I’ve been searching for an upgrade and I’ve read the file on the page - but it seems that just about every option out there needs some kind of modification.
Due to some physical problems, I’m not really in the position to be building anything, and therefore a home build bin or fish tank with topper isn’t ideal. I need something that’s as perfect as possible right out of the box - if it exists?
I liked the look of Bucastate, but then read the ventilation isn’t great, the slots are too big and that it was potentially too big for a lone male mouse (although I’m not really worried about being able to provide lots of clutter).
Does anyone have any recommendationsy for something that comes already perfect for a mouse and available for delivery within the UK? Budget isn’t really an issue for the right enclosure (within reason - but I’d be happy to pay the £200+ for the Bucastate if it was actually ideal).
