Re: Shelves for cages 2022
Thanks. There are usually lots of platform ideas (and Getzoo make excellent ones) but can be harder to find things to fit in barred cages, but it's good to have platforms as well as shelves linked! Some nice platform ideas above. In particular shelves that are easy to fit to bars with good fixings.

However, I will say I know a few other people that have bought items from there and seem happy, but not one I would recommend or use again. They also use nails, which I am trying to get away from.

Interesting you say this as I had the same experience. I bought their multichamber house and the quality was appalling. The wood hand not been sanded smoothly and it looked so bad. I had to fight for a refund and return it.

Re: Shelves for cages 2022
That's really good to know - hard to tell quality from a picture. And excellent it can be any size you want. I know the ebay shelves are hand made basically so usually good quality wood.

I bought my one from Amazon and Amazon had to intervene and force a refund. Mine had nails hanging out of it.

Re: Shelves for cages 2022
Hmm so I think I should edit them out from the first posts as not recommended really. It's past the editing time now so I might have to ask one of the moderators to take that link out.

Re: Shelves for cages 2022
I am very impressed with Garden Valley on ebay though - the big shelves. They are getting me one here by Thursday, and not only that she's made it to the right size instead of me having to saw a bit off and find new fixings for one side. I'll report back on quality when it gets here but have confidence in it so far (it is just a shelf though!).

Re: Shelves for cages 2022
I have a petsgang shelf and didn't find it very good quality either. I have others from Chinchilla Shelving Supplies and Garden Valley which are great quality.
If you have a narrow bar cage (6-7mm bar spacing) you do have to keep an eye on the fixing sizes as most Ebay sellers use M8 fixings for larger shelves, which won't fit unless the bars are very bendy. They might be able to use smaller fixings if you ask.

Re: Shelves for cages 2022
Thanks Sushi. Good to know someone else is happy with those two sellers. The fixings should be fine for the plaza and the shelf is to fit in that - but yes they do have chunky fixings - the ranchhouse cages ones were easier to fit in any cage - just screws and washers - but they don't make the bigger shelves any more.
