My New Cage!!!!!! :) :) :)

cheekytikki · May 24, 2007

here it is!!!!!!

didnt go 100% to plan as i originally was going to put the cage in the recess and then dismantle the crate however teegra gave me the 'look' (you know the one the 'why are you taking my favourite posession' look) so at the moment the crate is still up and in the room so will see how the works out :?

sooo here they are!!

the cage

top level

middle level

bottom level

couple of cute bunny pics

stretchy toes!

ooo food!

exploring

yummy parsley bell

the crate

the cage (as you can see there is still space for 2 dustbins between the 2 cages)

and space to run (and you can see the wee wee stains on the floor :roll: )

What do you think? do you thnk it is ok with the crate up aswell or would it be better to take it down?

thanks

:thumb:

forgot to add would reccomend this cage 100% lovely and big and sturdy

Lucky, lucky buns. It looks fab!

I would leave the crate for a few days, until they are used to the cage, and then move everything into the cage so the crate is boring to them, then it's up to you if you think the space can be better used without the crate in there.

I love the pic of duchess asking to be groomed and Teeg's is looking at his toesies and saying sorry but my pedicure is more important! :lol:

(not usre if tha is good or not but it was cute!

They are so lucky, where did you get the dangly wooden toys from?

cheekytikki · May 24, 2007

thanks

RE: the toys 2 are parrot toys from a local pet shop although im pretty sure they sel them anywhere the other one is a bunny kabob (you can buy them most places) with various things on it i think atm it has loofa, cactus and wood chews

and the purple one is a slinky :lol: :lol:

o wow it looks fab, i love your set up! Do you think this cagen would be any better than a 48 inch dog crate (which i have at the moment) for a frenchie? Sorry dont mean to take over you thread

bizzy_vicki · May 24, 2007

Looks absolutely fantastic! I get paid tomorrow, cant wait to order mine *eeep!* Whats the bar spacing like? Would is be suitable for male rats do you think?

Isabel · May 24, 2007

I got a dangly wooden "parrot toy" from wilko's, very cheap cheap from there! Ha ha.

ooo I'm so tempted! Can they stand up in it? I reckon Duches is probably a bit smaller than Barney though.

I really hate the dog crae they have doesn't go well with the decor don't you know. WHatevers best for them though itsn't it :lol:

I can't belive you are considering removing their crate withought there permission :lol: :lol:

not sure if a frenchie could do the ramps and get up throught the holes tbh (but then again i have never actually seen a frenchie

so im sorry i cant really help you there)

if they are anything like my bucks used to be then i would say the spacing is fine (in fact i get quite sad when i go in the room as it is where the rat cage used to be and i automatically look for ratties in there

if i had space for another one i would get one and fill it with ratties though

mine seem to stand in it ok (maybe not stretch quite as far as they would when free in a room) but quite happily stand up in it (i think it is about the 8th pic you can see duchey standing up on her back legs to explore

)

thanks again everyone

i think (hope) the bunnies like it only had one incident so far where duchess got up to the second level but couldnt get down again :roll: there is food on every level though now so if she did get stuck at least she wouldnt have to go without her grub even for a second :lol: :lol:

Abi, where was the parsley bell from, it looks like it might be yummy... (for buns, not for me obviously!).

Mushypea · May 25, 2007

WOW looks REALLY great!!!

My buns come in in the winter and they have a 48" dog crate but after seeing that I will def get mine one for this winter!!!

I think you should leave their crate up for a bit too-until they are used to their new home.

Vix · May 25, 2007

ahhhh ok then never mind he'll just have to keep the crate, everything gets flicked out of the sides though :roll: bunnies ay!

cheekytikki · May 25, 2007

some people use correx (not sur eif that is how it is spelt) in crates to stop stuff getting kicked out

http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/sea...k/ws/&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=correx&category0=

and then make a base like this

hope that helps

p.s. mine used to kick stuff out of their crate have you tried lining it woth newspaper, carpet squares, vinyl or vetbed?
