Can I see your NIC cages?

[Shuu]

I've made a walkthrough of what I have so far.It's taken longer than I thought it would so I've just started this anddone what is completed. Tonight, when it's finished, I'll finish theguide. Until then, here's the steps taken till now.

You got a nice cage set up shuu. I will bebuying those clips that you got to hold the door. It would be best forlarge buns as well.

wow, very nice Shuu!

I think I am going to want to put a ramp or somehting from level tolevel. The cage she is in now (going to be the bottom part of the cage)is very deep, and she cannot jump that high.

I was looking through the photo galleries of Cavy Cages, and saw thatthis one girl used pencil boxes as a ramp. Very creative, not sure if Iwould try it because she digs at everything

We're still thinking of something to use forthem to get to the second floor. Some sort of step or ramp. I'll post areply when we're done.

The ramp is the side of a baby crib covered with carpet.

The "rungs" on the crib side make it perfect for running up and down.

I love that Idea. My mom has my neice's old babycrib. I will tell her not to throw it out. I could use it as atemporary cage. I would cover the bars up so the buns can not squeezethrough.

Finally done. Here's the picture:

And here's the finished guide:

trust me they can squeeze through them... anything they can get theirheads thru... found that out the hard way lol. I boughtplastic cutting boards from the dollar store and wired the handles tothe bars and overlapped them so the wires could not bereached. Worked perfectly.

That is how I was gonna do it. Zip tie somethingto the crib on the outside and it would be so tight so they can notsqueeze through at all.

Where do you find the pieces of carpet?

 

[Shuu]

You can buy the carpet at most any home improvement store such as Home Depot.
