What really sets the Ferret Nation line of cages apart from the competition is durability and ease of cleaning. CN cages can be configured in hundreds of different ways and the locking ramps make it easy to section off areas so that older pets are on the ground level while more active pets can roam in other parts. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Also, before I got her, I'd read someone for the CN since the horizontal bars are so close together to put either coroplast or plastic or something around the edges so they don't climb and fall and get hurt, which is what I did.Here are a few problems that exist when using a standard Critter Nation cage for a small bunny, like a Holland Lop. In her house, when she tries to wheel it to the bathroom for a good cleaning, she has to lift it over a step. Celebrating over 100 years as a small, family-owned business that supports over 150 employees in the USA! The convenient full width double doors provide maximum accessibility for easy cleaning and feeding and the critter-proof dual locking door latches allow you to open with one hand. There are so many awesome features that come with this cage, and I’m sure you’ll love them just as much as I do.

Metal bass pans would be good to replace the plastic pans with so that the cage looks more uniform, but the way I describe is a quick fix that will last if you don't mind the way it looks. Not a serious criticism of the seller you understand - perhaps not even fair to dock 2 "communication" stars - just something purchasers might want to be made aware of. Husband wants to divide the cage by locking the “stairs” in the up position and putting the solid tray (the one usually on the bottom) on top. The shelf at the bottom of the cage has bar spacing that is a bit wider, so you might need to use a small tray or towel over it to keep small items from falling through (it’s about 3/4 in to 1 in wide).I’ve not invested in any of these items personally, so I don’t have any experience with them currently. Ferret Nation cages can also be modified in similar ways, although I do not have experience with the assembly of Ferret Nation models.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Midwest consulted with various pet groups and owners before designing their Critter Nation cages, and it really shows in the finished product, with many particular headaches in other pet cages addressed and solved. Additionally, in each cage there is room for a second level, which adds a couple more feet of square footage, and space for the bunnies to explore. All of the bottom wire pieces have the same kind of insertion method into the cage, so you can switch them out. And Tabatha had a heart attack at an also very young age when the neighbors stupid Rottweiler got loose and found her in the outside hutch.Hi Friends, today I want to share how I designed my “Deluxe Bunny Condominiums” by modifying Midwest Critter Nation cages to fit the needs of bunnies.

I did this for a long time with two sets of girls who didn't get along very well and it worked really well. I know that the levels can be dangerous if the hedgie slips and falls, but I have seen setups that put wire on the ramps like a railing so this won't be possible. Personally, since I have the space to do so, I want to give my bunnies lots of room to move around and get exercise. If you have more features you would like to add or ask about, you can always leave us a comment and tell us what you think.Then you hook the two assembled cages together with metal plumbing ties (they look like giant metal zip ties and you use a screwdriver to tighten them. If you have the Critter Nation 162 (two levels), the ramp going between levels can lock up against the cage, shutting off access to the other level. You need to make sure they have lots of places to explore, provide lots of enrichment and make it a safe place to avoid falls and injuries.
