Cages / Re: cage choices?
« on: May 04, 2010, 12:27:45 PM »
sorry for so many questions but this might be one of the last ones (for now 
)
when i'm constructing my cage, are y'all using a small mesh wire bottom with a pull out tray under it or are the chins able to actually get on the pan? or is there a better way that i'm not seeing? i'm trying to figure out how i will be able to slide the pan in and out for cleaning without tank seeing it as play time.

oh wow how simple. after a lot of looking around, i'm thinking building my own cage may be the way to go. it doesn't seem nearly as hard as i had imagined, and will cost less than what i could buy a premade cage for. plus i kinda like to build stuff 
y'all have been so helpful! thank you! this forum has really helped tank and i just within the last week. he used to seem always peeved at me for some reason, but after reading and doing some adjusting on my part he's just as sweet as he can be here lately. he even got back in his cage twice tonight without a fuss! he got out unintentionally and i started to worry, but tried to stay calm and he jumped up onto me, onto the floor, and back into his cage both times! i was so impressed! he's gotten a treat and a dustbath all pretty close together, he's so happy!

another question i've been having looking at some of the awesome cages y'all have built, how are you attaching the shelf to the cage? i've been lookin and lookin at the pictures and can't seem to see how they are held up.

i live in chattanooga, tn. which is almost to georgia/alabama. my current cage is about 36" high, 24" deep and wide. i'm kinda kicking around the idea of combining this cage on top of whatever i buy this time just to give tank a little extra space so its good to know that a lot of you build your own and me trying this out isn't out of left field. i was hoping to not spend any more than 200. 150 would be preferable. i'll keep my eye out on craigs list and start browsing these recommended companies. thank you all so much!

hello all! i've just found your forum after having my chin (his name is tank ) for about a year now. he's still kinda skitish but he and i are working on that. i'm not sure how old he is. the pet store didn't say and i'm not sure how you can tell. anyway! thats my little intro. i'm currently looking at getting another cage for tank. i got suckered into a mediocre choice for a cage at the time of picking up tank and i'm not happy with it anymore. however, i'm an indecisive person and after looking on the internet i am even more confused on what i wanna get than when i started! can anyone offer any advice on where to look, or what i am looking for? i know that plastic is bad, it needs to be large, and preferably not have spaces in the floor for him to hurt his feet. but i can't tell very much about these from online or the boxes at the store. plus i don't really trust them to tell me the right cage anyway. any help would be greatly appreciated!!
also, if this is in the wrong discussion spot, i'm sorry! i wasn't sure if it should go here or in the general chin talk.
