    UK Where to buy Cubes in UK

    Magicroundabout those cubes you have is the fine mesh smooth? I was just wondering if I got those if they would be ok for a cage for my sugar gliders or if the mesh is too close together and they would get their toes caught. If they are ok would you think I could make a cage 6ft tall or would...

    UK Where to buy Megazorb?

    Thanks for your help. I think I'll try the megazorb and see how I go, if it affects me too bad then I'll stick with the carefresh and order the 50 litre. I did try the shredded paper as I could get it from work but I didnt find it much good as it doesnt really absorb anything.

    UK Where to buy Megazorb?

    Just to add...I only need it for the litter tray which is 26 inches x 24 and has their food/water/hay in it. The rest of my cage is fleece. I find newspaper in the litter tray gets messy within minuets and even though they obviously have their hay in a hay rack I want to limit it and not use it...

    Cage OTHER than a C&C Cage

    Hi you could always use lino instead of chloroplast and cover it with loads of newspapers or towels and then fleece. I dont know for sure but I expect the cot paint you can get would be ok as its non toxic. My cage is the 2nd one and was pretty easy to make.

    Do they usually wee in their cozies?

    Wow its amazing that something so small can produce so much lol I have changed the cage today as I had thier food on a 2nd level so they had to go up a ramp for it. When I put them in yesterday it took them about 8 hours to come down the ramp so I think they thought that a bit scary. I have...

    Alergies to my pigs & a new pig

    Have you tried carefresh in their litter tray and newspaper with fleece on top the rest of the cage. I am allergic to anything and everything but carefresh is great. Pine is one of the worst things to set my allergys off, the smell goes straight to my chest and I cant breath and my eyes start...

    Is this the right thing to do?

    Ah bless its so heart wrenching to see animals kept like that, I would just want to buy them all but its a catch 22 situation as if you buy any your encouraging the owner to carry on selling and making a profit and if you dont you worry yourself to death. Trouble is if you do they only get...
