Revamping & restoring all items in the chins cages soon!
« on: August 10, 2015, 02:14:31 AM »

Really soon i will be restoring all of the chins items since its been more then a year they have had there wood shelfs and stuff and i should be getting some new fleece in too. Plus im adding a 3rd level to the cage to give the 2 big boys more room. I am considering in getting chico his own cage depending if he is able to handle jumping from level to level since he is a small chinchilla from the 2 i have. Changing the subject a bit i wanted to know if i was to order or make a 36" shelf for my chins would it fit into place or not? I see a lot of people with the long planks across the back part of there ferret nations or critter nations and im worried if i order or make the wrong dimensions ill just be screwed lol.

P.S. Chicos level is seperated off from chachis and chonchis level so they dont share both levels

What I've found with my FN cage is that if I want the shelf to be flush with any corner of the cage I had to put a notch in the corner to accommodate the vertical frame members that exist in each corner. I did this with a hand saw after I cut the shelf to fit. This prevents gaps between the shelf and the bars that I perceive to be potentially dangerous.
