Well, I have some breaking news to share with everyone! I just finished talking with the people over at Bass Equipment, and I am happy to announce that they have FINALLY began selling deep metal replacement pans for the two smaller half size trays in the Critter Nation 161! For years they only sold the two large pans made for the top and bottom of the cage, and you'd be left to your own devices to replace the smaller pans with either fleece or wood ledges, but I guess they've heard all of our laments and have now began selling the smaller pans too. I just ordered mine, they cost about $16 dollars each, and since they're not on the website yet they have to be ordered over the phone. The one drawback however is while the two big pans are 2 3/4 inches deep, the smaller half size pans are only an inch deep. Hopefully they'll still work though! I'll be getting mine by next Friday, so I'll post some pictures and additional details then! Now all of us can finally outfit our entire cage with the deep metal Bass pans, thank the chinchilla gods! Lol jk
P.S. Does anybody know what type of Rustoleum I should use on my pans and how long I should let them cure for?

I'm glad to know those pans are available. There are a lot of users of those cages here. As far a paint you'll want to use something that is non-toxic when it dries. That's what I've been told anyway. Any primerless paint that dries non-toxic and will bond to metal should be fine. Just make sure to sand the area first to remove any loose material if you don't know that already.
