items for the cage

[chinny]

I have rearranged my cage today and added more shelves since there weren't that many. I moved things up a little more since that is what she perfers. BUT what do you have on the bottom of your cage???
I have a house down there but it looks so bare and I would like to use it.

I have a wooden bridge, a house (they dont really use it but do when the suns out) and a willow ball so they can chew on, i also have a hanging toy near the botton too.

hope that gives you some ideas

Hmm, I have a Chin-chiller, a house, and a hyacinth grass mat, just to cushion it a bit when he jumps down from a shelf (makes it quieter for me, too, as he's in my bedroom), and so he doesn't have to sit on the wire. His food dish is on the mat too, as although it's heavy I don't trust him not to shove it off if it was on a shelf (the cage has a built-in hopper, but he always had trouble getting the pellets at the bottom out, so I switched to a dish - he actually eats more now). A lot of toys tend to end up scattered about too, though like your girl he prefers things up high, and likes to carry them up on the shelves (the look on his face when he drops one is so adorably pathetic, he hates going to fetch them). Sometimes I tie a big vine ring to the door, too, that shuts him up for a while.

(the hooded basket in the pic. has now been replaced by a house, because he ate it )

When I get a bigger cage, I plan to have a wheel there too (will leave clearance around it for safety, so I guess it'll be a bit off the bottom).

I have a large clay ball that I put in there thinking that she could sit on it since it gets cold. But she tried to nibble on it. I figure that she is just trying to find out what it is but thought to ask if this is okay since I recalled some people had clay pipes and they had put a fleece tube on it.

Also, I have a blue shiny pot that has littl holes cut out of it. Is there anyway that I could put hay in there and she would pull the hay through the holes? I would still provide hay the way I am right now in case she can't figure it out.

in Rhino's cage so far, there's just his litter pan, bendable log house, ceramic pellet dish, big willow ball (the size of his tookus!), a few coloured pine shapes, and a homemade fleece tube (prototype, lol) on the bottom.

I have a house, ceramic dish, and dust house when it's being used. Some apple wood sticks for chewing.
