Cage changes and being unpopular

I have enquired about adoption of these two and it looks like it could be going ahead!  My reasoning was that these two have come so far but any little change they still don't like.  Also if I gave them back then what would I do - well get two more so why not just allow these two to live out the rest of their life in one place in a very nice way?  Don't think I am cut out for fostering right now as I get attached and don't want them to go.


So one of the requirements to adopt them was a cage expansion, they currently have just under 8 square feet and would need 8 1/2 square feet.  And I had already been planning on giving the cage an upstairs, it seems like fate now!  Hubby and I had been discussing using grids and correx to make upstairs bigger.  So that's what we did and here are the results

An upstairs sleeping pad lined with vetbed and now has 2 corner houses in it.  The ramp is enclosed so no one can fall off and covered in roofing felt to stop slipping.  It's a very gentle ramp and immediately they were back in the cage up they went.  Success!  Downstairs does seem transformed and there is so much room for charging about at food times if they ever get that tame.  But they can now run.

They are on fleece again and as you can probably see it's pegged at the sides as they burrow under it otherwise and I worry that they wont be able to find a way out.  They are more than capable of using the ramp but they have decided that they either just love their bedroom or that the change has unnerved them for a day or two as they are spending every minute except meal times and when they go out in their run in there.  It IS cosy but before the upstairs they were rooting about and out and about lots more.  Going to put their fiddlesticks back in today - it's large but it provided them with cover that made them feel alot more secure so going to put that downstairs to see if it encourages them down a bit more as they have a tunnel to go in.
