currently getting new things to add and make better. gotta get rid of the plastic litter pan for a glass one... something better to put her hay in. and i need to get her a wheel. i plan on putting a chinspin in it as well. i also really want to get a squiggle bridge!

 

[paula1101]

I have three CNs and three FNs now. Here's the whole setup:

Each cage except for the one on the far left houses two chinnies. The one on the left currently has 6 girls that I'm chinsitting for a friend, but three will be staying with me in that setup, although I may add an additional level for them.

Here is our newest set up! We just won some new items from Christine on the auction that will be going in soon (no clue where) and we have a Chin Spin coming shortly that will fill the empty space on the bottom back wall. The boys seem to love it already!

This is what I need to do! I need to put a slab of tile to fit the shelf and replace the original plastic shelf pans. Where did you get the size of tile to fit the metal shelves? I have slabs of square tiles but they don't fit the metal shelves, and I'm worried about it falling off. Your cage set up looks absolutely amazing btw.

 

[The1nOnlyMatty]

Thanks! I got a 1/2 slab of wood cut to fit the the metal shelf holder. Then tiled the part I wanted tiled with 4x4 tiles. Then wrapped the exposed wood with fleece. I left the edges untiled because we're getting scatter guards to put around the tile. It was really easy and fairly inexpensive (under 40 to do two gravity ledges).

Oh and if you decide to do it, a 1/2 inch slab of wood cut to 15 3/4 x 21 3/4 fits in perfect!

Just set up little Severus' 2 story FN yesterday. He's loving the extra space!

Diana I like several things from your picture. The well organize jars to keep everything air tight. And the hay holder, where u get that?

 

[kurilla22]

I really like what you are using for your chins dust baths! Where did you find pots like that?

I made the hay holder because he one had one of those hay ball things before, so he needed a replacement. It's not perfect, but it does the job. I try to do the DIY thing as often as I can get away with. It lets me get more for my money

They are just decorative planters, found at a garden nursery. They work out really well!

[Shooper]

I'd say she is spoiled for sure! Looks great!

This is actually my second FN; I've been a member of the FN club for sometime now. But when I unexpectedly rescued a male chin, my original FN was divided in half, with my girl on bottom. Then when he chewed his way into her cage... well, I have three chins now, and I felt like a half FN will not be enough for the mother and daughter as baby grows. So I found this FN on Craigslist for $100, and I talked them down to $60 (it was a little rusty, so I got new bolts for it). Before I move back to my dad's house (grr, post college moving back home...) I have decided to get Rocky's cage all set up.

So I made all of my own fleece liners, a hammock, PVC lounger thing, a cuddle cup (stuffed with fleece), tube covers... and I did a ton of woodwork to make nice shelving today. We're not ready to move yet, so the are still some things missing, but I like to think I'm off to a good start.

After Many Many months of planning, saving, ordering, and decorating, our first FN is complete.

Finally got a FN 182 last night....upgrading from a feisty ferret. I'm pretty disappointed so far...it was actually missing a hole that I had to drill myself and nothing seems to fit right so I have to hammer every piece in. I'm trying to decide if I want to put the middle shelf in or keep it open since I doubt I'll be able to get this thing apart once it is together....any suggestions?

I am a new chin owner. I got my beige boy about a week ago and he will be 5 months on the 18th. I don't have a FN, but I did buy a two story CN and I'm just waiting on my Bass pans to come in. I'm thinking about getting him a friend when I get his new cage set up and I was wondering if they would be likely to fight or do most get along well with new friends?
