When getting housing for a pet, please remember to get the homes of an adequate size. This is abuse
knights need at least a 5x5 enclosure in order to keep their stress levels manageable, and honestly that’s pushing it. 10x10 is a much more humane minimum, and you should allow them more if you can spare it, as knights enjoy “touring” around their enclosures and more space means a longer tour. if you don’t have the space a knight requires, consider adopting a bishop or a rook instead
I hate this because a chessboard is 8x8.
Chessboards are torture for knights!!
For those who are considering enrichments for their knights, here are some ideas you may consider if you:
Wish to add long roadtrips to your knight’s daily excercise
Need them to develop some muscle mass and increase their stamina
Want to introduce more knights to the herd
Or just feel like redecorating their standard size enclosure
