I couldn't find one from what I can see...seems people mostly stick to using the albums here.
It'd be nice if people could post pictures of just their cages custom/bought ect.
I'm looking for cage ideas and I'm sure other people would love to see :)
I have a ferret nation already but it houses a ferret. It's a great cage but having two feels like it might be ...overwhelming... ???

There are different sizes of FN cages. Also if you check out Jmdebbs site there are some very nice prevue cages at a hell of a price. Shes really reasonable and looks to deal with people. PM me and i can give you a few tidbits about things i did with my FN cage to help the little rascals. Also I can help you out with how to line the floor of the cage you got now with the wire bottom. Ill take some pics and when you PM me i can shoot them back to you to help you out.

That's right I forgot you can buy them one level at a time. I have the 142 rather decked out for a spoiled ferret.

But I'm finding that if I have his food and his favorite piece of bedding in the bottom part he really has no desire to go upstairs. So I've been considering closing off the top half of the cage (with the ladder) and flipping the bottom tray around and sticking my :chin: upstairs...and eventually ordering a "bass tray". Or possibly adding a third level.

okay i could of sworn i wrote a post to this thread earlier today and it's not here. this is weird. ut ohhhh if i didn't write it for this trhead where is it.. hahaha
anyways... what you have for your ferret will work great for a chinchilla..just take the plastic poop pan out.
here is my fn 142, i like yours better, and ignore the poop and the mess i didnt get a chance to clean it yet..

Thank you. I was hoping there was a cage thread around here somewhere :)
So it looks like I can ditch the bedding in the bottom of the cage so long as my chin is litter trained? Maybe just dust buster all the little poop pellets once a day?
He went into my ferts cage and fell asleep on top of one of his sleep sacks so I'd say he approves.
Another option however is (http://www.superpetusa.com/assets/011/25627_250w250h.jpg)
I bought this ages ago for my rabbits...I realize it's mostly plastic...but I don't have the tray anymore (and have lost most of the plastic parts...lol) since it got cracked from being left outside in the sun. Maybe I could make (or have something made) for the bottom. The metal does have some rust damage though where it was chewed on so that would be a bit of a project...I'm lazy so I'll probably stick to the FN.
I liked the melamine cage in the other thread... I always wanted to build one when I had a rat...I found the materials to be surprisingly expensive though.
Debb what on earth is that green thing in your cage? A shelf covered with fleece? It baffles me for some reason xD

Having a pet room can quickly turn into a madhouse. Especially when you have to accommodate the needs of different species...and apparently my camera is living 4 years in the past.
This is all temporary...bass pan and shelves will go in ASAP although he isn't really a big chewer. Then a more aesthetically acceptable way of getting up and down. But that's way more planned out and sturdy than it looks. ::silly::
