You will have a very happy chin! I love the cupcake fleece!

Thank you!!!

Do you guys think the chain holding the hammock will be ok?

 

[Twilight Chinchillas]

I've had an issue once with a chain wrapping around a chinchillas foot so don't know if the weight of the hammock would be enough. To make it heavier, and safer what if you got some wood, and drilled holes, and strung this onto the chain? They can sit on the hammock, and chew on the chews on the chain. Just an idea. Other wise I think it looks like a fun cage!

 

[Gabby88]

Thanks, Twilight! I was thinking I might just move one of the shelves down and get rid of the chain all together. But I like your idea, too! Hmmm...at least I still have time to plan more and move things around!

I want the cage to be as safe as possible.

And I just finished this cuddle buddy, too.

 

[Ratchilla]

Good for you, Gabby, it is looking great!

That cuddle buddy is so cute! My daughter would love one! :thumbsup:

 

[Gabby88]

Thanks! I'm not fantastic at sewing, but it was easy enough to make. I hope they like their cuddle buddies and their new cage.

Is there anything I'm forgetting? I just ordered a hay box, a ton of chin toys, and I'm getting a pyrex dish tonight for a litter box. Am I missing anything?

Also, I'm still concerned about the chains and the placement of the shelves. Do you think they'll be able to reach every shelf?

I think the cage looks good other than the chains, which you said you would maneuvoere around anyways and change, since a leg could get broken easily on one of those.

Anyways, I would leave the shelves as is, and then see when your chin arrives, you will know then if the shelves are reachable.

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me.

I LOVE constructive criticism because it's the only way you can learn what you're doing wrong and how to make it right! And if something is potentially dangerous or hazardous, I'd want to know so I can fix it rather than ignoring it and having possible injuries.

 

[Gabby88]

Is this better for the hammock? I also added a litter pan and water bottle. How does it look now? Do you think the S hooks are dangerous? How about the eye screws? Are they too big?

I just don't want any little feet getting stuck anywhere.
