    Ready to upgrade! T8 versus tub and other questions

    Ok I've searched through the forums and I am leaning towards the t8 but I want to make sure I make the right choice.

    1. Can the t8 house an adult ball and an adult corn with a divider?

    2. Is a tub better? And are we just talking a storage tub from target? I know this is a dumb question - but couldn't heat sources be a fire hazard? I know a lot of you use them and have no issues but I wasn't sure how that worked.

    3. How do you clean such a massive cage? Do you just wipe down with spray as opposed to filling and rinsing? Is it easier to abandon mulch and just use paper towels?

    Thanks for the help! I just want this to be my last habitat purchase so I want to do it right!

    1. Yes as long as you have 2 separate heat sources for them or keep the cages at the same temperature.

    2. Tubs aren't better. Tubs are much harder to heat.

    3. I spray mine down with a vet grade disinfectant like F10 or Chlorhexidine let it sit for 20-30 minutes (this is a necessary step) then wipe up. You cannot fill/rinse these cages easily.
