They have extremely high metabolisms and eat a lot, so they poop A LOT. They are a lot of fun though, definitely love to play. They sleep about 16-18 hours a day, but when it's play time they are pretty nuts, in a good way. I turned a 4'x6'x6' closet into their enclosure full of ramps, tunnels, etc.. and different levels. They use all of it when they're playing, but all 4 usually sleep all piled up on each other. Feeding is easy, training is pretty easy, grooming/hygiene is easy, but clean-up of the enclosure is a pain and they make a mess of their room when they are out to play (they get free reign of the room for a few hours a day). As far as the smell, it's minimal if you keep their enclosure clean.
