  1. Finally a good use for all of the crappy newspapers!
  2. Those large glass cages that you bought on a whim were just sitting in storage gathering dust.
  3. Meal prep will be down to minutes.
  4. Watching them run around inside a large plastic ball is tons of fun.
  5. Gnawing at plastic and wood will keep their teeth sharp just in case.
  6. No need for potty training or diapers!
  7. When they are teens, they can try to talk back all they want, but the glass acts as an awesome sound dampener.
  8. Finally a reason to rename them “Sparkles” and “Coco”
