For a wire-bottomed cage (which I do shy away from) I have heard to use 1/2" X1/2" spacing. Would 1/4"X1/4" still be OK, or do you think they would get their toes stuck or something?
I lost my Miko two days ago. He was only around 3. . . He was the sweetest thing in the world. Miko talked like a baby chin and he actually liked to cuddle.
I miss you Miko. Now you can run on the giant chin wheel in the sky all night long. See you again some day. . . .
Yes, Jo Ann, it's almost as tall as a person. The cage itself is 55" and with the stand it its 58." I like chins to have as much room as they can. The price is really good too.
It doesn't have a plastic pan. I thought it would be great since it is a giant cage. I don't think the doors slide either. I wasn't planning on putting a breeding pair in it. I guess I don't really understand why more horizontal bars make a difference if the spacing is 1/2" anyway. I mean, they can't get there heads jammed in that small of a spacing. I would think it would make it easier for them to get a leg caught or something if there were more horizontal bars to trap their legs. Am I wrong?
I have been wanting to get a new chin cage. I was wondering if a bird-type cage with 1/2" bar spacing, but more than an inch the other way was OK. In other words, the bars are vertically 1/2" apart, but there are few bars running horizontally.
