Looking for a good cage
« on: August 26, 2006, 12:37:47 AM »

Ive been trying for the longest time to find a new cage. I want it to be big because the one hes in now is huge and i dont want to move him to a smaller cage. What i really want is a cage with a high bottom because he tosses everything out of the cage and sprays the wall and carpet with pee. I was going to find him a cage mate and partner but ive decided against that now and am just looking for another chinchilla. Female and they will have seperate cages, but still be next to eachother. I did find this one really great cage but it was expensive and i dont think i could find a place for two of them. There were some other concerns i had with it too. Any suggestions would be great or a place to find a good cage.

My favorite chinchilla cages are at: http://www.qualitycage.com/chinchilla.html They will add splash guards around the bottom if you ask them to which helps keep in shavigs and things.  I have the Chinchilla Townhome and it is plenty big!! Their next biggest cage should be more than enough for anyone and at about $150 its very reasonable!

I like the one at www.spoiledchins.net. I have the plans and I am hopping my husband will build it for my birthday.

I still like my cages from http://www.martinscages.com . However, I do have similar cages to the ones at spoiled chins.

What we did though, was built a set of 6 right onto the wall, using 2 x 4's as a frame, and support system. They were nailed right into the walls of the chinroom. We then took the Melamine coated tileboard(Cheaper, and thinner then the boards) and used them for the outside of the cages. In the long run, it was cheaper then the regular melamine cages.
