They are pretty easy to take care of. They used to get playtime out of their cages every night, but after we moved there wasn't a chin-proof room in our new house, and no safe place for them to play. They have big cages with lots of ledges, chew toys, and big wheels for them to run on. I think they're pretty happy! I give them food and hay every night, and change the wood shavings every 2 weeks. They are in the living room, so they still get lots of attention. Almost everything for them, I have to order online though. I can get their food and hay locally, but the toys and dust have to be ordered. Almost everything in the petstores that is marketed for them is unsafe. They also have to be kept cool (they could die in 75+ temps), but can live for 20ish years
