i spent over 100$ nd two hours gettin my girls a new cage. and they love it, but the troublemaker(and route to all my stress), marie, slips right out. i'm gonna try to train he but she is a rebel

so now i have to cover it with cloth wire...i've done it before, but the edges were jadged and it would cut me.

how can i keep her in besides the wire. iff no other way, how do i cover it.

here pics of it.

p.s. im makin them homemade hammocks so soon itll be more colorful.

Are the girls young? They may grow to be big enough. In the meantime, perhaps hardware cloth? Bend it backwards and secure with zipties?

i guess i have to do hardware cloth. yeah, they are young. i had them in a small cage and te outgrew that/...but are still too small for this one.

I read that someone used screen mesh on their ferret nation. She put grommets on the edges and secured with zip ties. This seems a lot more safe on your hands than hardware cloth.

Get some THICK leather gloves if you go with hardware cloth. That should help your hands.

That is a very nice cage! were is it from? Is it a martins?

 

[chrisstrikeagain]

yep, the Marins 3 story. retail price is about 160, varyin a little.

i got it for $88 =]

watch with the wire mesh screen stuff if you use that the girls will chew right through it I tried it once

 

[chrisstrikeagain]

they dont seem to chew their cage now so i doubt they would. then again, they'd do anything to make their mommy upset. its a expression of love.

Try plastic gutter mess with zip ties
you can cut it off later and it won't scratch you
or the rats
