Natural cage design ideas???

[hrl20100]

I have the alaska cage for Flump and all her toys are wooden and have a natural look to them, but the cage still doesn't look very natural and its my dream to have a really nice eyecatching natural themed cage.

I am saving up to buy her a wooden wheel (at the moment her one is too small and its a luminious green colour (yuck)) and have a wooden house i want to order for her as well.

Any products/things you guys use to make your cages look natural??
I was thinking about maybe trying using a few more different types of substrate in the cage as well.. any reccomendations for natural looking ones?

I've seen loads of people using branches and wood in their cages, but where do you all get it from?

This isn't the best picture but I bought this really nice little hut house [it might be the one you have ordered already] from Pets at home which is a nice natural look! Pets at home do loads of wood based houses and little play things for them :3

They have things like climbing frames and stuff and my friend has a wooden seesaw for her hamster.

I am going to order her a house like that when I get the money, my rats have the large one and they love it!
She has loads of the toys off of Zooplus and a few from petsathome (I find it expensive there so I tend to avoid it where possible) and all the ones I get are wooden. Well, everything apart from her extendable tube used in her playpen!

I've been thinking of ordering her some natural looking levels to add to her cage. Ones like this:
Corner Platform: Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies

My rabbit has this: Trixie Natural Living Shelter, 30 x 22 x 25 cm: Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies
I might order one for Flump and use it as a feeding platform. Its quite large so can act as a level too!

Good idea for a food dish? Or you could use a reptile one

Not sure if it's quite what you are looking for, sorry if not. x

I like the look of that bridge, is it big enough for syrians?
I have the bendy bridge and the seesaw (both are Flump's favourite toys!) and I dunno what I think of that treat holder. I've saved the link though-thankyou!

When I had a robo, I used a couple of wood stick bendy bridges on end, overlapping slightly but with about 2" of space between them, to allow passage for the hamster, as a fence to separate a sand area and a Boxo area. It didn't look entirely natural, not like those German cages! But it wasn't bad and Turbo seemed to get a lot of exercise in that tank

I found that on pinterest! Maybe it will give you some ideas?

I love that design!!!
Thats what I want to aim for, but where does everyone get all the natural looking pieces of wood and logs from?
I love the use of multiple substrates too. Flump is just on woodshavings at the moment. I might use chinchilla sand and megazorb in her cage too to add some variety and different textures.

This cage looks pretty DIY I think? Just a guess, but maybe the wood was bought at a local hardware store? I feel like they probably made the different sections themselves. It looks like thick plywood, I think.
