savic rody cavia

[Kirsty1987]

hi, I just ordered a savic rody cavia but only just noticed after i ordered it that it has 4 water bottle holes i can put his house in front of one to cover it but need some suggestions on how i can cover to other 2 or he will chew them

Washers on either side of the hole secured with a long bolt and nut.

We tend to use bolt, nut and washers for things like that Put a washer on a bolt, bolt through the hole, then another washer and a nut on the outside. Works really well for chewy hamsters

And Lougarry beat me to it, but I agree with what she said

[Kirsty1987]

I have never heard of them before let alone bought them haha i don't do DIY so a link pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated if that not to much trouble :3

[kyrilliondaemon]

Nuts and bolts are these sort of things - Nut (hardware) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And these things are washers, you want one of the bigger sizes - Washer (hardware) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Any hardware store should have them


I apologise if this seems a bit odd linking to wikipedia but it had pictures... Plus ebay is confusing me

[Kirsty1987]

Thank you i will wait for the cage to arrive then go get some so i get the right size, hoping carmine loves his new cage and all the toys and big wheel i just bought him

[kyrilliondaemon]

Good plan, after ebay has just confused me a lot I was going to suggest waiting and getting them in person. Apparently getting them online would be completely and utterly beyond me lol
I hope Carmine does like everything when he gets it

[Kirsty1987]

Yeah its hard to judge the size when buying online. He better i spend more of my wages on treats for him and maya than myself lol

[kyrilliondaemon]

Its more that ebay has about 4 hundred varieties and hardware stores don't lol

And yeah, I'm the same. This lot are rediculously spoilt but they're happy so its worth it
