I know there are tons of photo threads but I can't find too many who have a double unit without the middle cutout floor in. PLEASE share pics if you are using a cage without it!

Is there such a thing? No matter what I put on the corners my chin destroys her cage with the traditional fleece liners laying in the bass pan. I tried to make some version of what I'm looking for - took a 2 layer liner and sewed a giant piece of fleece to it to make sort of a pillow case...

I had one of those covered bird feeder dishes but my chin knocks it over constantly and when I tried mounting it to the cage its never tight enough and she'll jump onto it and turn it upside down. I was going to either get a heavy ceramic bowl that maybe she won't tip over (not likely since she...

I can't find anything local except kaytee and oxbow. Use oxbow because I read that was the better of the 2 but my chin doesn't seem to like it much. She hardly eats any hay and usually dumps the pellets so I can't tell how much she's eating. I'd like to find a place to order online but not in...

We've had our chin for about a month now, for the first few weeks she didn't touch the fleece but now she has gotten into the habit of pulling it up and getting under it constantly. She makes a disaster area of her cage every day, spills her food out, etc.. I bought another chin chiller to try...

I think I would like to get a playpen for our chin to run around in when I am cleaning her cage, etc. Right now we use a small safe bathroom for some play time but then we are cooped up in a bathroom with her. I'd love to let her hang out in a safe area of the family room, kitchen, etc. but...

I bought a cheapy small one on amazon when I was setting up the cage but my chin doesn't seem to like it at all, she never goes in it. She also had a timothy hay tunnel/house thing and she slept in there often but she peed in it and it got gross. Now she only has her tunnel as a place to...

just curious... our new 3 mo chin doesn't seem too crazy about his hay. We've had her about 2 weeks now. I believe she was given timothy before she came home with us too but she just doesn't seem to eat much hay. Her poops are normal, so I know she's eating some thing - she eats pellets too...

I've been through the FN Club thread a hundred times, think I've hit every page by now, but 90% of them are double or triple decker cages. I have one baby chin and a single FN cage and would love ideas on how to set it up before my ledges all get here. I ordered a bunch of ledges, rec'd my...

We got our new chin yesterday. I set up her cage as much as I could ahead of time (have some things on order still) and bought a glass water bottle in a local pet store. It has the little duck in it. I think maybe it wasn't working right but after playing with it a bit water is now coming out...

I am replacing the bottom tray with a Bass pan and plan on using fleece liners (starting out anyway, if I hate them I'll go to shavings). Not sure what to do with the half shelf, think I've read some have tiled it, or covered it in fleece, and now it sounds like Bass is making a pan for it...

Picking up our new 3m old chin this weekend and all I have so far is the cage (FN) and a Bass pan on its way. Would love if everyone could give me the links on their favorites of the following items: bath house (diy or store bought?) water bottle hay holder litter pan/dish food dishes litter...

The chain pet stores by me carry the stuff I keep reading not to feed them, so was going to order some mazuri online as that is what my breeder uses. But I read here that sometimes causes loose poops. So went digging and found some non-chain stores near me - one carries oxbow essentials the...

I see people mentioning giving their extra to shelters, etc. so I am assuming it goes bad after a while? Can anyone tell me the ins and outs or point me in the right direction? How long is an open bag good. Can you freeze it? How much can I expect a 3-6 month old chin to eat a week? You need to...

How many have done this?? I am a little concerned with the mess a chin can make. Have already ordered a 2" pan for the FN I ordered but also read something about adding plexiglass to the cage and may want to try that too. Any pros/cons to doing it would be great. Photos of your cage w/plexi...

I have been reading all over this board all week trying to gather info before we get our baby chin, but here's a question I am not sure on.... I see the FN is highly recommended, but what makes it better than the critter nation and is the 1" wire too big for a 12w old chin? Does the horizontal...
