Re: Cage Setup Examples
Hey Gnarly, what is the plastic looking stuff around the bottom of the cage walls and where do you get it??

Re: Cage Setup Examples
Instead of this thread being a sticky, lets start a new one that is just cage setups. I was on a rat forum yesterday and they had a sticky that was just for cage setups and the person wrote a description of the cage, how they modified it and where parts were found. Comments were not allowed and were deleted so that only cage photos and descriptions where there. I thought it was a great idea. I'll make a new thread and make it a sticky.

I love that idea Nancy. It's fun just to look at cages, without having to go three pages of questions

Re: Cage Setup Examples
Before we go to a no-questions format . . . I'm seriously liking the storage cube cages, but I'm not sure how you make doors for them, or holes for hoses. (There's one where a hose appears to go through a cage wall in the "no questions" thread.) Also, what kind of mess do you find around these cages in the morning? I rent, and I doubt my landlord would appreciate a sprinkling of poo stains in an area exactly the shape of my hedgie tower . . .

Re: Cage Setup Examples
The wire is also pretty thin, so I'm sure if you wanted to cut a smaller hole or door, you could easily do some with a pair of wire clippers. Just be sure to sand down any of the metal that might remain, or cover it to make a smooth and safe surface.
I don't get a mess around my cage; I have plastic on the sides and this not only prevents climbing but also keeps all poops inside.
I also have plastic shelf covering and a towel under my condo, because it's on hardwood floor and I don't want to get a scratch.
To make doors we left a whole section open, and then used a section of cubes to make a flap like door with zip ties.padawanslacker said:

Most liners are made of fleece (preferably anti-pill) or flannel, or corduroy. Make sure there are no loose threads.

I just cut fleece to the size of the cage floor, but some people get fancy and layer them to make them more absorbent/comfortable. Nancy (*waves Nancy over*) sells some great stuff if you're not the creative type.

Re: Cage Setup Examples
That was happening for a while with my Zeek. I would take him out of his cage and find little bits of fluff all over him; it turns out he was digging, and tearing up the fleece. I filled his igloo with fleece scraps, and now he has something to dig in, he's no longer covered in fuzz everyday and it's saving the fleece.
