Hi everyone!
Ok, so I gave it a really good try making fitted blankets for my critter nation pans. My rats rip through them like they are nothing and I have to sew a completely new one everytime I clean the cage.
If I don't sew them so they are fitted, they shred them even quicker and make more of a mess. As is, within a day or so of cleaning the cage, they are pooping outside their litterbox and then going under the blankets and the poop gets thrown out of the cage. This is absolutely no good as I have young children and dont want poop around them
I was thinking of getting the galvanized steel pans I have seen for the critter nation. http://www.bassequipment.com/Cages/Ferr ... fault.aspx If I did that, what would I need to do to the pan so they stay as non-smelly as possible?
Any other ideas on ways to make a good, deeper pan for the cage, specifically for the cut out level? I actually have a pan for the bottom level but it is not really the right size (the top is wider then the bottom making it secure but making the actual space they have to run and play smaller. Plus it is pretty tall.) but it works.
Thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Laura
