Where to put.

I was wondering with my cage is it okay if i just put it on the floor it's dog proofed and everything.

Cages are okay on the floor, but just be very careful there are no drafts.

Okay one other question how will i know if there is a draft or not ?

Stand in the spot you want to put the cage in and see if you feel alot of air moving around such as a breeze. If you feel air movement like that, then it's too drafty.

Okay thank you.

Another way to pick up on drafts is to light a candle in the area. Hold it still or place it in several spots, and if the flame flicks around, then you have a draft. That is the method that was described in an Ontario energy savings tips brochure a few years ago.

You could try on the floor in a few places, or sit it on a chair for different elevations.

I am concerned about what "dog proofed" means, depending on the dog, it is virtually impossible to effectively "dog proof" a cage, especially if it is at dog level.

What i mean by dog proof is that its a closed cage. Im not worried about my dog because she seems to not mind at all. But i dont want to take any chance's so i did a closed cage.


Not mine but an example of one that is closed that i find on the site.

So why not put it 'up' on legs just like the one in the photo? It takes no more room and you won't worry about drafts.
