I connected my 2 SuperPet cages !

[kscanuck785]

so, I received all my parts from SuperPet USA today and was able to put my 2 SP cages together!!! YAY!!!

for those who know me, I do have a passion for cages so I was very excited about that!! LOL

so I ordered :

Part # Item Name Quantity Price
500500652 Passageway Connector (1) 2x $8.98
500012672 Bubble Plug 2 $6.58
500012676 Tube Fun-nel 1 $6.99

3 Items:$22.55
Shipping/Handling:$7.95
Estimated Tax: $0.00
Order Total: $30.50

so $30.50 and I got my order within less than a week.

I used a dremmel to cute of 6 wires, to be able to fit the passageways and just ziptied them into place. they can be snapped into place but for the ease of cleaning, I prefer to use Zipties. It is VERY sturdy btw and I'm extremely pleased with the results!! :thumbup:

the connector with the tunnel:

the connector with the bubble end to close the exit if needed:

cages connected:

so for those of you having a smaller SP cage and adding on to your rat family, this is def. a GREAT option to consider, It's not very expensive and totally reversible back to 2 cages if you use this kit

That looks really cool who lives in there?

 

[hopefloats]

I love it!!!!! I think if you fit 4 of them that would be way cool! anic:

 

[kscanuck785]

Peggy~~ yeah, I'm NOT that crazy....yet!!! LOLOLOLOL

Hmm... that gives me an idea. I have a BUNCH of cages leftover from my frakencage era.
*plotplot* Woohoo!!

"Frankencage Era". :giggle:

Those tubes are awesome. What a convenient way to connect cages!

 

[Dahlas]

I bet rats would LOVE that. It would give them a more natural den like ,crawl through a tunnel, home....... It looks great!

 

[Dazzle87]

lol glad I'm not the only one who had the thought hey you could use more connectors! lol I think it looks great :thumbup:

 

[kscanuck785]

thanks for the compliments!!

I may get more tubes and hook them on the shelves with the holes, since they are made to connect
I find the one on there right now is a tad too long, so I may get a shorter one.

Stacy, Now you know why I was asking about the wood pellets for bedding

 

[Dazzle87]

I don't have a superpet anymore but mine LOVE the tubes, I'm actually about to order them from superpet. It's so funny, they charge SO much for the tubes at the store, but if you order from super pet, they are dirt cheap, and you get to pick the colors!

Yup, I see now!

just a slight change in the cage

and Remington being handsome:

latest set up

more hammocks, a wheel, 2 igloos and new corner litter!

I'm doing the same set up at home for my girls, so stay tuned for pics

 

[hopefloats]

sweet now i can play let's spot a rat, because i dont see one in any of those new pics!


I am ready to see the new set up at home


I might need to borrow that idea for the litter box up there, I like it.

 

[Asheka]

Kick arse set up!! Such an awesome idea! I've seen those tubes for the pre-done chinchilla cages and such, perfect idea!! I have so many smaller sized cages from before that could totally work out! :dance:

Very cool! I too have been known as a bit of a cage addict.lol
I used to drool so much over those Superpet cages with the whole tunnel system on the outside of the cage. Love the pics and the rats seem to like it too.
