I redo my boys' cage like once a week because i always find a flaw in each setup (takes up a lot of floor space, hard to clean, etc). I want to redo it again but i don't know if I should? currently it's a 3X6 with 1X3 storage shelf along the back, and it's for my 2 boys. It takes up half my room though! I was thinking about doing a multi level stacked cage with a flip open top and flip down front for cleaning but Would it be good? Like I like how much space the boys have but now i don't have any space! I could do like 3 levels of a 2X4 or 5, but what do you think? or i was thinking a stacked 2X4 with a 3rd level that is 2 1X2 lofts and a connecting bridge.. Has anyone had a similar design or stacked casges and liked them? What didn't you like? Have you had just a big floor space and liked it better? Why or why not?

Sorry for so many questions, but hey, I'm curious! :)

I don't know but wouldn't that be hard to clean and isn't it suggest to have at least a two by five base level for boys? Just trying to help and I hope it works out because you need space too!!

definiteley out! :) ramp space is supposed to take up their running space, and extra levels don't count in their running space. I know that there is somewhere on this website (I think the home page) that talks about that :)

I ended up doing a 2X5 with 2X2 L and a 1X2 + 1X1 L loft. they really love it and it's easy to clean, but doesn't take up so much space!
