: Awhile ago I was asking how to get the nestbox not to absorb smell,well I got ALOT of GREAT ideas, and I still am not sure of what i am going to do permnently but... For the time being, I want to see if I can get the smell out of the wood nestbox I have so I took it from the cage tonight. Someone (I cant remember who) suggested using a baby wipe box for a bed and since I have those all over, (I have a 19 month old) I thought I would use one of those for now. Anyway I am wondering if it is too small. It seems alot smaller than the nestbox I have, and I am wanting to know how small is too small? I have weaned the babies now so it is just the two adults.
: Thanks, Every question I ask I always get alot of good advice,

I tried the babywipes box idea for about a week. It worked okay for a few days, but then I started to notice moisture inside everyday.
Their respiration and bodyheat are causing excessive condensation. Although we use natural cotten bedding, I cant seem to keep it dry,
and I was afraid they might get sick, so I went back to their regular pouches. Maybe you'll have better luck
