Default African pygmy dormice in an Exo Terra
Good/bad idea? I've seen people keep them in these and they seem happy enough.

How secure is the mesh at the top?

APD's will live fine in an exo... infact from now on (as soon as I rob a bank and buy some more) most of my small exotic rodents will be kept in exoterras for the simple fact that they are draught proof, escape proof (as much so as anything is escape proof to a rodent) and frankly... they look damn good!
