help on cge size!!! urgent :-/

[Fruli]

the cage we are thinking about switching Fruli to is 18x18. and 23" tall... is that to small for a GCC?? Help?

Since Fruli is still a baby, that size may work for awhile, but he really should have something larger than that in my opinion. My crimson bellied is in a cage that is 32X18X36, and he does have room, but I am wanting him in a bigger cage as well.

I don't think it's a horrendous cage size. I currently own a cage that exact measurement and I can honestly say that while I wouldn't recommend it as a permanent home, it's fine until you find one you can afford that is larger. While Avery doesn't mind it and makes full use of it and her toys, I just feel it's too restrictive for her now that she's more willing to fly and hop around. I'm buying her a new one at the end of the month that measures 27 x 21 x 58, which I think will be much better for her.

I do also give Avery at least two hours of playing around with me and then more time outside of her cage though, and I try to aim for at least four hours a day, though sometimes I can't because of work/school/life. But she's enjoyed it just fine and she's been in it for about a year. That's just my personal experience, though! Always try to go as big as you can afford, though. It is their own little space after all

That seems a little small to me but I am known to get big sizes for mine. My green cheeks are in cages 36 by 24 by 24. They'd don't use height but they like the length.

Lots of room for a GCC's playful energy, with proper bar spacing. Its the cage I have for my GCC and it works perfectly.
