Default Re: Doing some stuff with a Knuff

Thank you CMB! She was more interested in wriggling underneath things when I was watching last night - but I know she climbed on the shelves during the night as I put treats on them and they were all gone this morning!

Thank you SKB! They do make her cage look a bit smarter - don't suppose that will last! Here are the dowels I got - Access Denied - hmm will save cypher's link too! And yes ratrations for the birch discs - the first lot I bought were nice and smooth, but the second lot were much rougher! So I asked my Dad to sand them. I stuck some bits from a P@H wooden toy between some of them to add height.

Thanks cypher! I had a few different ideas about how I could arrange the shelves, if I was doing a whole new cage, but didn't want to stray too far from what Marty had before! I am fairly sure I saw some birch discs on etsy once, but couldn't find them again.

Oh that's a shame that's a USA website kitty629 but hopefully will be useful to a lot of people in the USA!

I hope I will see Marty climbing on the shelves tonight, just so I can see how it all works for her! She seemed to find her hyacinth tunnel the most exciting thing last night - she's had it in her cage for ages and only ever stuffed it wit Fitch before now, but all of a sudden, with new shelves to explore, the tunnel was the most amazing toy ever...

Thanks cypher and Scarlett Empress for sharing those links. I have been looking on eBay for the small wooden dowels for a while now and kept getting confused as to which ones to buy as there are so many options - as some are made of beech and others birchwood - and I have never bought hardwood before so was unsure whether they were safe - so those links are really helpful.

Jessie's level has been added to her cage and I thought I'd keep her freestanding level in ther too so that she has more to climb on...

The angle of the photo doesn't show the little climbing toy to the side which acts as a ladder but she's quite capable of climbing between the two levels.

Matthew's still needs a coat of Plastikote before I let him have it in his cage.

Thank you BorisPasha!

Oh that looks fabulous Fluffagrams! I love the colours!

Marty seems to be enjoying her shelves - I haven't actually managed to get any photos of her using them yet!

Here's Matthew modelling his...

He doesn't usually bother with the ramp and prefers to climb on top of his igloo house because, well why take the easy route?
