Does anybody know what is a ideal cage for a short tailed opposum?

I know people use vivariums, but don't they keep the smell in (when you open the doors it hits you in the face)

As with a cage the air can circulate.

from what i have read on them they are best kept in the 2ft cube vivs with plenty of branches and hides

also with them being kept individually they aint gonna be as smelly they dont get overally big

i have my lemmings in a 45x45x45 exo terra and dont have a problem with smell at all and there are 2 of them in there

Don't suppose you know any breeders of gambian pouched rats either do you, or anyone on here who keeps them?
