 My new cage! *Also found on RatsAhoy!* |
|
Well, I took advice that I got from the RP board and went and bought two packs of those playpens to make a small temp cage for Happy and her babies- anything is better than an aquarium. I filled it with -hamster- toys because they are SUPER cheap at my petstore, and the babies wont outgrow them for a while- and by then I hope they have homes! So it was a great bargain. The door was an issue..we made an opening door before realising how big the tub was, and that the tub blocked the door from opening out. Josh had the great idea of making the door glide up and it works great! Anyway, below is just a wooden house that happys babies are in, and a hammy house, the second floor has these round tube things that babies will love! and then there are two hanging tubes, plus food and water bottle. Its not huge, its only 18 tall 20 long and 13 wide, with a 10x13 second level- but its something better than it was. Here are pictures, man did I get cut up! The base/tub I got turned out to be too short WIDTH wise..and the two side peices on the main floor, on the second floor, and the two peices of the roof all had to have two bars cut off. It was a pain in the butt, but it fits well. Here are pictures!
Thats the whole thing. Big tub, I know. But hey- no pee splatter!
Close up of the slide up door. I really like it!
What do ya'll think? For a baby nursery, not too bad, I dont think! And the colors sure make it look like a kindergarten room! lol!
Oh and BTW
2 Packages of panels- $20
1 package of wire ties (used all of them, too) $2.75
Plastic tub- $6.50
Hammy Toys- $10 for a pack of all of those (two tubes, two round things, and a house)
