NIC Cages Only-Now Closed

[tamnjo]

wow. This is my first post!I got mine from someone who was getting rid of them... got them $17 canadian for 22 plus a bunch of connectors. The aswome thing about them is, you design it and they can fit in any space! Mine is not verygood, so when i get home, i am gonna start a new one. I have an old shower curtain on the bottem with some newspaper on top. It works....

So here is a pic of the cage i just finished building. I think im gonna build a better one in a week or so. But i need some *insperation*

You have a suggestions for me? I need a design. I don't really it horizontal. I prefer vertical as much as possible. Thanks so much!

Oh, excellent cage!

I find my guys like having it horizontal so they have room to run. How often are your bunnies in the cage? Do you have the room to extend it to maybe a1 x 4? There's no back grids on your cage right?

You could make it a 1 x4 and 3 high and have 4 grids left over for shelves. Or you could pick up another box and maybe even make a 2 x 4! I think your bunnies would love the extra room. Height is great, but my guys at least love to be able to hop around and stretch out in a cage with lots of space.

I understand sometimes space is an issue, butis there any way to extendit horizontally?

It really should be a minimum of 3 grids horizontally so thet can more place to stretch. One grid to lie down on won't be enough and they love to lie down on one of the higher levels so they can see their surroundings more easily. You can take at least one grid off height wise. If you take 2 grids off in height and make the cage at least one more grid horizontally, you could put your hamster cage on top of the condo and maybe take the table away?

I was just at Target today, and in a corner of a shelf I found some NICs. It wasn't 23 grids, just 17 - but it was only $5!! I don't think I need them, but I snapped them up! Muahaha.

Canadian Tire has them on sale for $10 for a 4 cube set. You might need to ask though. Some of the people there had trouble finding them but I got them in the end.:biggrin2:

 

[tamnjo]

I got mine from someone who was getting rid of them here. I saw them at Wal-mart, but they were really expensive.

Going to get my flooring today, but dont know where or what to get because my boyfriend said floor tiles are ok, but since we cant stick them to carpet, the pee will leak through the cracks of the tiles. I dont know what to do. :?

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

There are several different options for the flooring. If you happen to have a piece of wood that is big enough, you can get the stick on tiles and attach those on top of the wood. You can use a sheet of plastic, piece of linolouem.

 

[MsBinky]

I bought a piece of large rubber carpet that is under the tile. It makes it really easy to wash. The plywood idea is really good too.

 

[PixieMillyMommy]

Doing the wood and tile idea. Already got the tiles, but the tiles are smaller than the cubes on my second floor. How do I make this work and still look nice? :?
