I FINALLY found some time to post some pictures of the cage (or made the time after [MENTION=28226]Traysea[/MENTION] encouraged me to) which has been a project that's been going on for a few months now ^^ I know I've talked a lot about it in other threads but pictures are easier than having to describe everything.
I did a cage expansion as well as switching from washable puppy pads to fleece and wood pellets in the kitchen/potty area. the current size is 4 x 6 grids (each big panel you see is 28" long and 1.5 regular grids high) with a 1 x 2 kitchen add on that includes the tray of a store bought cage.
it takes up the whole dining room but everyone is happy with it and hubby and I eat on the couch all the time anyway lol
if you have any questions or ideas for improvement, let me know! =)
Pimp My Cage:
what we started with:
switching to fleece for the first time:
after adding all the accesoires and kitchen supplies:
new/current cage size (I had the idea of the expansion before I could get more matching fleece and then Joann ended up not having anymore of the same that's why I used the washable pads until I could get more of solid red fleece). the litter tray is in the far right corner, the canopy (sometimes they use it as a hammock) is covering it up in that picture)
Arthur (left) and Bruce (right) checking out yet another beer box hidey (they are VERY popular with those guys and give hubby and me excuses to have a couple beers lol) I put newspaper and then hay to make it last a bit longer.
new cage with my favorite fleece design, I love owls! the box on top is usually not there, this pic was taken towards the end of cleaning session, that's why there's not a lot of toys in there yet either. the igloo is usually in the far left corner and I put a box with wood pellets topped with hay where the hay rack is for them to munch and lounge and burrow. right now they have a second cardboard house towards the far wide side with a towel on the bottom topped with shredded paper to play in. I take it in and out since it's kinda big and I don't want to limit the space for them to run around.
what do ya'll think???? I have to admit I like it hihi
