Got mine all set up last night...now I just need to save some money so I can order some toys

 

[SeeleyAnne]

I don't have a FN, but I have a CN! Does that count? It took a while because I was busy making the fleece liner, hammock, and tube cover.We made all the shelves ourselves too....well, that part was mostly my husband

I love the halloween theme! I am looking to go get some halloween fleece tomorrow!

I moved my chinchilla into his FN cage a little over a month ago now and was just waiting to get some new stuff in to take some good pictures of the current set up!

I still have a lot to do/buy before I'm totally happy with it. As of right now my plans for the cage are to remove the FN shelves and replace them with lots of different shaped wooden ledges (my next project!), probably get a few more perches and order a hay box, Chin Spin or Flying Saucer and also order a metal litter pan.

(Sorry for the mess, I couldn't wait to post pictures and took these first thing this morning! )

His cage is a jungle/Batman/Spiderman theme.

I just finished tidying up the cage so I figured it was as good a time as any to snap some pics. The small cage to the right of the FN is their dust bath/emergency travel cage, it has a dust hut hooked on the bars inside it.

The cages look great! We all have some pretty spoiled chins around here!!

I have a question about the cages? I see alot of fleece in the cages and no shavings or bedding. do the chins not eat the fleece and what about urine i dont see anything that would soak it up for easy cleaning.

 

[Daina91880]

Some people use litter pans with shavings to potty train their chins. I just use the fleece liners. Yes, they pee on them, but if you have at least 2 sets and change them out once a week, it isn't a problem. The pee absorbs into the liners. Most chins don't chew the fleece. The liners make cage cleaning really easy. I just vacuum the poo and hay daily to keep them neat. I wash my liners in detergent and white vinegar every 5 or 6 days.

Just redid the cage last night. I took out all the old chewed up shelves and the things the girls refused to use and put in all new pink shelves I also opened up the center divider and gave them all new toys. Spoiled brats!

Quick question everyone!

We're thinking about picking up a ferret nation (the 2 story one).. Does it come with a metal pan? I assume since most of these don't have it, the 2nd pan with the tiny hole in it is removable? If it doesn't come with a metal pan, where can I buy one?

Does anyone make fleece already measured to fit the bottom of these?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

[3CsMommy]

No metal pans included. The plastic pans are both removable. Bass Metals makes good ones. A number of stores in the Classifieds make FN liners; some will even have premade ones though with those you don't get to choose too many patterns.

Remodels the boys "Condo" tonight

Here is Kindle's FN 182. Sort of bare, but supplies are ordered. She has a bridge, a hayrack, a daybed and another fleece tunnel coming soon!!

I am using fleece right now, because my Bass pans have not come yet. Please disregard the mis-matched color scheme! She DOES love the fleece under her hidey hut though, so I may have to reconsider bedding.

Anyway - she is one happy girll!! Her favorite shelf is the one between the 2 levels you can see part of her head in the picture

Please note: Her cage is NOT on a heat register, this is an air intake register so nothing is directly blown into her cage.

Shadow got a bridge and a hammock/pillow I made as an early Christmas present for our 7 year anniversary

 

[ratcuddler]

Chinchillin2005 do your chins actually use the swing?

I only have one chin, and no he has never gone on the swing lol. I recommend you not getting it.

All four of my ferret nations..
Each one has a theme to match the chin/s inside
