Shelving in a cage...

[littlepeanut]

I've just got a cage (well, picking it up soon!) and it's lovely and big, but has no shelving in it.

I've looked online and shelves are easy to obtain, but a bit pricey - it's a large cage so will need 2 or 3 shelves.

Does anyone have any ideas on home-made shelving? and how to secure it? Or where I can get cheap shelves.

As its quite a tall cage how do I arrange it so Peanut won't fall and hurt himself? The cage is similar, or may be, a Fop criceto Ted. I think. I'll go search for an image and put it up.

Come and throw your ideas at me...!!

Thanks

This is what I was going to do if I got that cage:

Get one of these platforms: Corner Platform Chinchilla Rat Small rodents on eBay (end time 07-Jan-10 00:00:02 GMT)

and then just fill the rest of the space up with hammocks, and the yellow fluffy hanging thing that my other syrian loves Then the hammy's fall would be cushioned if it fell from the top.

I would have also got a few of these for the hammy to climb on and chew:

Hope that helps... I will be doing a similar thing in the bin cage I made when i go back to uni as that has no levels either
