Wow! That is a fantastic cage! I'd love to have beautiful cages like that for the chins and my sugar gliders.  :::grins::

Way to go Fluffball,
I love it. ::nod::
I have seen many of beautiful cages folks have for in their main house, ya know more like pieces of furniture.
I just love seeing pictures of them, cause one of these days ;D I'd like to have them all up with me, :D
I always like to keep a couple up stairs in the winter usually a Mom getting ready to pop, and do so want one of those beauties.
Come on all the rest of you crafty cage makers, and include hints for keeping the shavings in the cage, attaching water bottles and food dishes, those types of things. ;)

Oh I agree!!  I would live to a cage inside like that for Charlie.  The big wire cages are great for the chinchillas but they do sort of stand out in the room.

thankyou
 ::silly::
well what started the whole thing is that i hated the wire on the bottom of cages and the look and that fact that when i had a bunny i had one of those and scratched my leg really good on the corner of it and I got the inspiration of the design from my hex corner fish tank and my brother is a carpenter and I knew that he would help me.  well i used pine plywood for the floor and for the sides i used 2 inch pieces of wood that were in the discount part of that isle mostly pine and oak and i like the dark finish so i stained it dark and put several clear coats on it and a lot on the bottom i also hated how the pine shavings would fly out and the droppings that is why i made the bottom a lot deeper than usual. i also put the wire on the inside and made sure that it completly covered the intire inside of the sides to prevent them from gnawing on the wood and i used a lot of staples so they wouldn't get hurt on any of the edges and this way there wouldn't be any way for them to pull up any of the wire to hurt them selves.  ::silly:: I would lie to build one for my ferret but i am not sure if my brother is ready for another project like that this soon

::silly:: Hi FluffBall,

    You are lucky to have such a talented brother, even more lucky that he would do all that for you! ::nod::  I love the hex design.  When you said you put clear coat on it ... is that the one that is water proof? 

Hi ForChins,
    I love the wood shelves in your cage (especially the one at the door.   ::nod::  Is that a hay holder on the side?  I like the way it is made.   :::grins::  Keeps the hay inside!  Where did you get your exercise wheel? Cute chins!!!  ::silly::

Hi BabyTaz,
    Is the PVC pipe attached to the side?  Cute shape, bet he loves it!  Is this a new fad with the shelves at the door?  I Love it!  It's a cute cage and sets his color off beautifully.  The  contrast really has him stand out.  What a cuttie!

FluffBall, I am just IN LOVE with your cage!!!  I have been begging hubby to build me something similar.  Will you take a picture of the whole cage now that you have all of the shelves in there.  I would love to see how it looks now, all finished and in use.
