My fiance just bought our grids! We are going to be making our C&C cage very soon. I am beyond excited. Anybody have any tips for first time cage builders?

We just built the frame (don't have our coro yet, will be getting it tomorrow). It is 4X2 with a 1X2 loft.

Haven't put the Coro in yet so it isn't done. But here is what we have so far (with a fleece on the bottom because I was checking to make sure our fleece would still fit)

Thank you :) My soon to be in-laws helped us purchase the house and do the painting. They thought I was nuts when they saw the colors I chose, but after we got it up they liked it too :) And that is just one of our fleeces. It has this bluish color (with just a little purple tint) running through the plaid and I have a solid fleece that matches that color. I also have paw print fleece for the loft :)

completed cage. I love our "for rent" ramp lol. And I made them a fleece forest and hay sack (in the back corner of the fleece forest).

I KNOW! I was just sitting in there watching them explore and the next thing I know she pops her head out of the top like HEY MOM and I just had to get a picture of that.
