Just an updated thread for anyone looking for shelves for cages. I used to get the wood ones from Ranchouse cages on ebay, as linked by another member some years ago, but they only have very small ones these days (but they do still sell coloured bendy bridges that screw to the bars).

So in searching for shelving I have come across these options.

This place (Garden Valley on ebay) makes pine shelves for chinchilla cages (or any cages) in various widths or depths, complete with all the fixings, and they will also make a custom size. Their delivery is a bit slow (about 10 days) so it would take some planning - unless it's a stock size and they might be able to do it quicker.

If anyone is wanting a shelf for the Savic Plaza, you need 18.75" width! (I have 10" depth but 8" depth might be ok too). Which means either buying a 19" or 20" shelf and cutting a bit off and redoing the fixings at one end - or getting one custom cut to size with the fixings.

This place (Chinchilla Shelving supplies on ebay) sells some great ladders - which also come with fixings so they can be screwed to the bars. Which is good, as ladders are hard to find/attach and can be a hazard if they fall down. I currently have a standard ladder which we stuck a screw through to keep it secure. Obviously this limits a ladder to being next to the cage bars but it's a great idea to keep one secure going up to a shelf.

They also do small and medium sized shelves. They do some nesting boxes/houses too but those seem to be made with nails so not great.

Ranchhouse cages on ebay (now called Ranchhouse cage kit) Still sell the coloured bendy stick bridges that screw to the bars but only as this pack with two small ledge shelves. The ledge shelves are ok to make steps with but a bit slippery on top when they've been plastikotes - I had to stick hemp mat on top of them to use them as steps. I like these bendy bridges because they're smooth wood - no sharp bits or splinters. And they screw to the bars. But it's not cheap at £14.99 to get one bendy stick bridge if you don't want the shelves! They also sell some small shelves but no larger ones any more.
