Re: when shoul I move to a 32qt?
I had a 600g male in a 41qt. And he did just fine.
I see the idea of putting em in small tubs for security. But I like to give em as much space as I can. REASONABLY. I'd never put a baby in huge tub. But if they do good in a bigger enclosure, ill do it. I don't like keeping em in small tubs to save space.
So in my opinion. If your in the 500 gram ranges. You should be ok in a 32qt or at the biggest a 41qt. But each animal is different. You gotta remember with 2 hides and a big water bowl. It really makes the space look a lot smaller.
Just my 2 cents.
