Introducing the rattie palace

[LittleSparrow]

When we first got our first 2 girls, we made them a cage out of a plastic shelf. Having brought home another since then, we have upgraded their "apartment" cage to a palace (as the hubby likes to put it). so here it is! We started with a large dog crate bottom pan and built up a wooden frame around it. Lined all accessable wood framing with metal so it is leak proof and made the bottom pan a pull out for easy cleaning! Just finished it tonight, so we are still working on creating a large shelf on the one side, but other than that I have almost finished sewing all of their hammocks and accessories for the inside. The 3 of them are super happy with so much climbing and running space.

wow that looks really good!

Are you going to add floors and ladders to this? Like for older ratties that can't climb well?

Our girls are only 2-3months old at the moment, but we are working on aadding different levels made from the smaller dog crate bottoms. it will give them some more room to run around as well.

Your little monkeys are going to have a blast climbing that from top to bottom. I'm sure by the time they turn into senior citizens, you'll have a bunch of shelves and ramps for them.
It looks great and will keep them in tip top condition. LOL

That looks great... You'll have some happy slim girls with all that climbing around.

Awesome cage! They're going to be super happy with all that space.

Looks nice, some people us cooling racks for shelves maybe you can make something like that work for you and cover them.

 

That looks fab, I don't think I would have the patience to do something like that!
