Fun set up for our cage

[lindsayfawn]

I thought I'd share how we set up our kids cage this clean up. We always have it different each time we clean the cage. It's good for the kids they love it. It's fun watchin them go explore.

Griffin- Is the cage clean can we go in?

Franka was in time out because she escapes lol It was to hard to clean the cage and keep an eye on where she was roaming so she got stuck in jail for a little bit

Their dinner

They sure love this mix that Ang makes them. Blended up peas, corn, carrots and a few other things. We put a little olive oil in there too to keep them nice and soft. lol Emily has her paw on Griffin's head trying to push him away so she can eat first lol She's our Alpha.

LOL I love when they push each other away with their little hands.

When they're getting apples make sure the seeds are removed completely.... it *looks* like there's seeds in there.

 

[lindsayfawn]

ohh yeah there were a few. Choking hazard?

 

[Tarah]

the set up looks awesome.

i may have to make that mix for my ratters soon. :wink:

Apple seeds are known to contain small quantities of cyanide, which is why they advise people to not eat them.

Awesome cage set up !! I need to get more creative with my cages

Really? Wow I did not know that. I'll make sure there's no seeds next time!

You guys find the best things to put in your cages. I love those yellow and green things, I forget what they are called. Also those box things for little kids, I used to have those when I was little but I can't find them anymore.

The sputnicks are the yelloe and green things. They love those. Best purchase ever!

Where did you get them? I love 'em!

Global Pet Foods sell them. They have great toys there!

I think this question was answered, but I am gonna ask anyway. You have a circular type of item in the cage, it is yellow or yellow/green and has little wings that you can clip it to the cage with. What are those and where did you get them? I am in the US and I cannot find much of anything for cage decor.

They're called sputnicks. They're so awesome! The kids love them. We get them at global pet foods. I'm not sure where you would get them in the states. Could google it and see if it comes up with anything

Sputniks can be ordered on the internet, I've never seen them at a Global in my area, so they're not terribly easy to come by in North America.

Great cage, great setup and every single one of those pictures had me laughing. Funny, funny stuff. Gotta lovem :heart:

 

[pinkies_mama]

holy crap. that's awesome. thanks for the ideas!

 

[hyklyst]

I really wish I could find somewhere in the states that carried the Sputnik. I found a UK company I can order from, but shipping is not so great!

Are the sputniks available in Canadian PetStores? If so, my fathers wife is Canadian and travels there about 4x a year. I may be able to get them from her. She is from Vancouver.

 

[jorats]

Some of us can find it here.

Be careful with them though as on another forum there have been a few threads of rats that have slept on them when attatched to the top of the cage and it breaking off and tearing their ears a bit :sad3:

Oh, I think that just made me reconsider trying to track down a sputnik. Thank you for the info. We definitely don't have as many amazing cage accessories here!
