Blog author 12 Feb 2008 16:43 | My blog Rat Cage Updatethe cage i wanted is STILL not available! unbelievable! zooplus sent me an email at the start of the year saying it'd be in on the 2nd Feb...that date came and went and nothing! i have had to give up on it and find another! i was trying to decide between the Explorer cage or the Furet Tower - i got some advice off a rat forum i am a member of and decided on the Explorer - ordered it and it will be delivered at the end of the month! i am SO excited! it will certainly make my life easier when it comes to cleaning the rats out and handling them as the whole front of the cage is basically 2 double doors that open right up! will cut my cleaning time by about half and save me some pulled muscles!
the only real downside is that the cage base is flat - it has 2 levels but both just have a very shallow tray in rather than a nice deep tray for lots of bedding / litter - however, i have seen some pictures of other peoples cages and they have made some deep bases out of correx so i have ordered some correx and am ready and waiting for the cage to arrive so i can make deep bases. the guy who sells the cages says that later in the year the cage will come with deep bases instead and he will happily provide these new bases to anyone who has purchased the cage with the shallow base for simply the price of the postage...which is WICKED nice of him!!
once i've got the cage and set it up and stuff i'll put some pics on here to show you all! should be fab! |
