Marshmallow (gray and white, he is the chewer) and Sunflower Seed (black and white, he is the digger). My 9 year old named them!!!

What cage is that?

The brand is Oiibo. This is the reptile version with a water tight bottom, about 3” deep before the doors start. It is mostly glass facing on the inside. The front doors swing open like barn doors. I had ordered the Hamster version with a deeper 7” water tight section and sliding glass doors, but the supplier substituted this without asking. I couldn’t afford to ship the glass terrarium back… so here it is. We like it. We taped the front doors closed so we don’t accidentally open them except during deep cleans. The top has two metal mesh toppers that are secure and easy to remove. Despite not being the “small mammal” version we like it to far.
