[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 121565, member: 26980"] They can't find food, wander around stressed out of its too big. Having said that, if the T functions normally you're good. If it's something that builds a burrow, it'll be in one place. Still, it's probably best to not have overkill. An advantage of a larger cage is that when you're maintaining it, you can stay further away from the T, which reduces bad behavior on its part, eg. biting or trying to escape. Just look at caresheets and lots of different sources. For example, my Versicolor kept escaping from the delicup I had it in. I ended up putting it back into a 4x7 cage that I wanted to use in the first place. The T built a web which I just drop food into. It is probably three times larger then some others. Of course, this means I won't have to switch it out for larger cage as it grows as often. [/QUOTE]
