Currently my 2 tribbles...eh, I mean cavies are living in this:
This is a Nibbles120 which is 120x60x50, the biggest cage I could find.
But they are growing and I've been told they will continue to grow for quite a while and become twice to three times their current size.
So I was thinking of something like this:
Because:
1. I have another cage like that, but I altered it for a russian dwarf hamster which means I made a new cage on the lower thingy of it. So I still got the bar-part of that cage.
I thought of attaching that barpart on top of the current cage with a new underthingy (yeah pardon my english, I'm Dutch!).
I still need to think of a way to attach the uppercage to the lowercage in a sturdy but easy to remove (when cleaning) way. Because my cavies are hyper beasts that bump into everything!
2. Make a ramp or tunnel or stairs to the floor so they can run around (a part of) my computerroom.
Currently a DIY shop is having a discount on pvc-pipes, which sound great, except for them being slippery. But it would need walls because my cavies are crazy and might try jumping off high parts.
And how do I attach whatever I'm making the ramp/stair/tunnel out of?
The current situation is the single cage on the chest you see in the picture.
(Don't look at the mess please, hay is hard to keep tidy.)
Suggestions please!
