Looks like the mesh i use for bin cages. I'm looking forward to see the hide once finished.

Spot cleaned Ares cage and added in the sprays and dig box. Added some flax, oat and millet sprays amongst the hay. He's already given it his seal of approval.
Rearranged some of the items in the cage so here's how it's looking now...
After all this excitement, Ares has disappeared back to bed.

I'd be a bit cautious about mesh in the cage. Assume it would be well padded with moss but it would need a close eye on it as the moss could come adrift maybe. It's a great idea but just wondering if hemp mat lining the mesh before the moss could be an idea?

The enrichment looks wonderful and so nice to see little Ares too.

That looks great! I'd love to see a photo of the whole set up, pleeease.

Aw I can see Ares rolled in his sand.
The piggies look like they are having a nice afternoon snooze.

I love Ares's set up. It's such a good example of what can be achieved with a large Zoozone. He's a lucky Robo.

Ares cage does look very nice, he must love that.
The piggies certainly look chilled!

Ares cage looks amazing. The Piggies all look gorgeous and happy too. Are they all photos of Mia? The second one looks a slightly different colour, unless it's the light. And more suspicious looking on that photo! Like - what's going on? The other two they look so happy!
Sorry if I put a bit of a damper on the moss hide with mesh - a moss hide is a fantastic idea. I'm just very cautious about any mesh in the cage.

Don't worry about the moss hide, I'll figure something out or adapt it in some way to make it work.
Despite me talking about Mia, none of the photos are of her. First one is my boar, Jupiter, Mia's dad/uncle.
Next is Mia's hus-boar, Basil. He's a fuzzy rex cuddle bug. He was just drifting off to sleep
Last is Mia's mum, Eileithyia-Eris. Her and Mia are almost identical. Only difference is Eris has a black shoulder, Mia doesn't.
Thank you. When taking photos from above it looks quite bare in the middle, but if you have a 'hamsters eye view' of it like I did the other day, there's lots of cover. I will be getting more bendy bridges though. I thought I had some laying about but I can't find them. Mania probably destroyed them thinking about it.
I'll also add that there's a minimum of 6" of bedding throughout and everything heavy is on stilts. Ares also has a variety of substrates to explore; aspen, fitch, tissue (unscented), hay, sand, coir and there's probably some megazorb in there too.
Once the moss hide is done that will be another sensory type of enrichment. I also want to get a cork log and some branches to go in there. I did have some branches but I think Mania played a part in the disappearance of that too.

Mania had a name to live up to.
