Thanks! Trying to decide if I want to go ahead and wrap the whole thing with hardware cloth or wait and see how it goes when I get him. I guess I could buy the supplies and have them on hand, but it seems like it's kind of a pain and would probably be easier to do before I get him and get everything set up, but I've already invested a lot of money as far as his cage, food, toys, etc. - not to mention actually paying for him - so I don't want to waste money kit-proofing the cage if it's not really necessary. Of course, his well being is more important than a few bucks... Decisions, decisions! Maybe I'll wait until a few days before I plan to get him. Then I'll know if he's picked up a lot of weight or not.
