Cabinet cage! - Page 3

Forgot to mention Mel that at the front of the cabinet you will have to attach a wooden strip along the length of the opening between the doors otherwise when you open the doors, wood shavings and bedding will fall out. Its a mistake I made until I fitted a 1 inch high strip of wood. It just needs cutting to the exact width of the opening and wedging in place. All you need to do when cleaning the cabinet out is remove the wooden strip and brush everything out into a bin bag. If you need any advice at all, just let me know.

Will work on that next time me and my grandad get to work.

Thanks, if i think of anything i will be sure to ask

It was something that I forgot to do aswell and everytime I opened the doors, my missus had to get Henry (Hoover) out so I had to come up with a solution. The strip of wood is only a couple of quid from B&Q vand will be sufficient to do all your shelves.

do you have trays or just the shelf with a strip of wood?

I don't have to worry about getting wood, we have so much spare wood around!

Its just the shelf with a strip of wood wedged on the front. Trust me its far easier to clean that way. If you have rotastak tubes and end caps for water bottles, put them inside the cabinet aswell. I find the rotastak water bottles to be much better than the ferplast ones with the suction cups.

well i've made a pull out tray that should hopefully contain most the bedding. If not i'll add the strip of wood.
I don't have any of my rotastak stuff anymore, all sold and gone

But i can attach normal water bottles to the back mesh as i've left a gap for my hand to get round.

I did have a ferplast sippy but the suction cups got destroyed XD It was a pain anyway!

Non of my hamsters seem to get on with the ferplast sippy. If you have space for another Robo, two of Tammys White Faced have just had another litter each. They really are premium quality hamsters.

I know! Ahhhhhh

I want some sooooo badly

Do you mean the robos you got from her that had accidental litters? Or tammy has had another litter recently?

My mum is getting a mega begging!

Tammys own Robos had new litters last week. They are doing really well also
