I finished late last night. I didn't too much except replace most of the old coroplast and then cleaned enough of the old. I redid the ramp, food area. Enclosed the hay area so nothing would get on the floor anymore. I also added the medic/quarentine cage to the base area. I've also made a hollow area in the back to store the travel cage. It works very well and the boys seem to enjoy it.

Nope. Thanks to the extra swing doors on the top. I just reach right in and get them. The only place I can't really reach is directly under the hay rack. Smore has figured that out when he doesn't want to be bothered.

Nice cage! Very spacious, I'm sure your boys love it! I was thinking the same thing Jenni, but with the swinging doors on the top I can see how it would work. Congratulations on a job well done!

I am going to add a bit of carpeting to the small landing for the ramp. The boys go slow but just a little bit of extra traction will go a long way. I'm doing it first thing tomorrow before I head to work.

I had to carpet the girls ramp too, just so they had something to grip onto. I used an old carpet door matt which I washed with the usual 50% water, 50% vinegar solution before putting it to use. Now-a-days they run up and down the ramp really fast.
