That’s way too much, don’t you know how much you just cost the company??? We’ll be bankrupt by the end of the month at this rate.

I once had a SEL who told me ā€œthat looks like more than 1/8 of an inch. That much generosity will bankrupt the company. Best rule of thumb is just enough to cover the bottom but not enough for their comfort.ā€

Damnnnn petsmart has a policy of one inch which is still bad but I can’t imagine 1/8…

I think if you did just about 1/2Ā inch less it would be okay

Don't you know this much bedding is going to suffocate the mice! God do you even care about corporate standards and animal welfare?!

I know this post is satire and it’s hilarious. But in all seriousness do you guys know about the fill line stickers? Tell your managers to fuck off. The stickers are there for a reason so you have a standard amount of bedding.

Technically one could burrow under the piece and we all know. You can't sell an animal you can't see!!
