We've moved into our new place and finally have a rat room! :dance: We don't have all the CN's add-ons up yet, but this is the gist of it. The cages are pretty bare right now, until I find the darn box with all the toys. And we're still working on the lay-out a bit, have another CN to go up. I didn't clean the cages before I took the pictures, ah well!
The FN with the plants are my hedgehog's cages.
The CN belongs to my 13 girls, still waiting to find the add-on pieces it's normally a triple. The red cage belongs to Simon, Dale & Basil.
The single CN belongs to the 6 rescue girls, waiting on the add-ons, normally a DCN.
The purple cage with the green cube hammock belongs to the 6 rescue boys. The cage with the blue cube hammock belongs to Isaac, Patrick and Warren.
We're going to cover the floor in linoleum or something similar so they can come out without ruining the carpet. But I need some opinions on a few things!
We have baseboard heaters. There is a space between the floor and the baseboard heater where the girls could get under. Once they are under there they could get into the baseboard heater which is tight and really hot. How do you think I could cover that space (a couple inches high) so they can't get in?
Should I put the cage with the red base on something or do you think it's okay on the floor? It use to sit on top of the two purple cages.
The hedgehog's FN has cords all over the side for their heat lamps, lights, thermostat, etc. I clamped them all to the side of the cage so they are off the floor and out of rat-reach. But if the rats climb that cage they could get to the cords or touch the hot bars/lamps. If I put coroplast around the FN's stand do you think that would stop them from being able to climb the bars? I never use the stand storage.
Any other tips are more than welcome!
