Cage with plastic bottoms and plastic platforms

[Peaceful1]

My chin has ALOT of plastic in her cage. She doesn't seem to be chewing any of it. I am worried about it now though. I wanted to purchase a wire cage but I didn't know what to cover the wire platforms with. I didn't want my chins feet to get stuck in the wires. Can anyone help? I will try to purchase a new cage as soon as possible.

You can tile them or cover them in fleece (in place of shavings on the bottom pan too ). If you can remove the wire platforms, you can replace them with wood shelves as well.

Thanks Devi ! I mean the cage is a wonderful size for one chin. I will look for fleece in a craft store and try to cover the plastic.

You may not have to buy a new cage if your happy with the size of the one that you already have and if Mya leaves the plastic bottom alone. I have a few small plastic bottom cages that I use as temp cages for my chins. I took out all of the plastic ramps and shelves and replaced them with wood ledges and I lined the bottom of the cage with fleece. Chins don't need ramps either. ) Below is a few pics of 2 of my temp cages so you could get an idea.

Sandi she actually doesn't chew any plastic surprisingly. I'm still on the lookout for wooden platforms though . Any company that sells them?
