Think they approve
They were running mad all over it earlier lol i
They were like "spaaaaace! Weeeeee!"
Now they are chilling in their igloo (get it)
Looks fab. I love how new set ups are so clean and today!!
What I would say is watch out for bumblefoot on the wire base. Rats prefer flat surfaces underfoot. Props cover with lino or some is actually removable altogether.
Ferplast shelves are great and easy to clean
Ah yes thanks for that I was wondering what to cover it with Lino is a good suggestion, I clean the buns every other day so I'll do the ratties then too so hopefully I can keep it as clean as possible I have hibiscrub to clean everything with as well
Hum.... Would vet bed work? As I can take it out and pop it in the machine, I know they will put wholes in it the buns do too
My rats would have loved eating the vetbed!!
I had ecopetbed cardboard squares or carefresh or something similar on the bottom then I had plastic shelves and hammocks
Hammocks I washed and I wiped over shelves regularly
Looks great! Lots of people take out the shelves completely. There's no need to have the bottom one in at all, not sure why they include it tbh. There's a few examples in this thread http://www.fancy-rats.co.uk/community/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=116034&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=30
