1 week after moving house i decided to hold true to my ramblings of building my goos a new cage and after one cramped drive with a 2.15mx1m sheet of wood and all other bits, a moderatley busy weekend the goo mansion came to life. all be it a little wonky here and there 
The mansion in all its glory. Then starting from the bottom;
we have about 6 to 8 inch of shavings for almost unlimitd burrowing contained within is also a collection of corn tunnels and 2 bedding boxes (the lazy way of burrowing lol) with logs leading to;
first floor containing a whole to plunge from first to ground floor shavings one silent spinner fixed to prevent it moving during use or rearranging by squeaks. also a lava ledge, log tunnel and large tray for dust baths (goo jacuzzi
), with cargo net leading to;
second floor where by a hay cave is positioned in the corner looking out on food and water bowls with corn tunnel stuffed with hay, various nibble ledges across the back, a see-saw and ladder access to;
third floor furnished with another silent spinner more log tunnels, another ledge over more food and water bowls, a homemade hammock and a grouping of four marble coasters to provide a cool spot to survey the rest of the room on those warm days (which are leaving us now).
Throughout there are various balls chew and other toys for added entertainment
Obviously all bare edges are lined with untreated pine batons easily replaceable and ventilated by big wholes in the walls covered with standard metal vents and any pointy bits found during and after construction were filed flat.
Unfortunately where there is good there is bad, Squeaks and Riku are currently living in there but Risa had to be separated due to her insistant attacks on riku. Nothing territorial just plain hunting her down and attacking tho not due to new cage or anthing as she has pevious history in the old cage of this. As well as providing more space i had hoped she was just being territorial but now with all the space in the world and watching her still hunt riku down its obvious shes causing the problems.
