I plan on building a 8ft long enclosure for my retic.
she is female. I was wondering if i could go any smaller.
like make the enclosure 7ft long but, make it very wide.
like 7ft long/4ft wide.
Just wondering what is preferable?
Or is it just better to make it 8ft and 3ft wide.

At four wide mate you'd have to climb inside if she takes a poo at the back, not very pleasant :(.at three foot wide I have to do it with Jenny's because I'm an Irish hobbit and it's not nice ;)

I would say it depends on the type of retic as well, if mainland the longer the better, but as Dave said, 4ft deep is deep.. but if it's a super dwarf and the female only gets to be 8ft long then a 6x2x2 would be perfect or your 7 long even better..

She's a mainland. so would a 8ft long by 3ft wide be okay.
I heard the smallest you can go for is that ^^^^^^

Go as big as you can Jay that way if she ends up a true giant she'll have enough room and you'll not have to upgrade her ;)

At the moment it's 8x3x2 if need be we can go 12x4x3 but that's really pushing it :D
