Reviving the ratshack member's donated CN

[SQ]

In early 2012, the members of this forum did an amazing thing - we worked together to purchase and set up a double CN cage for ratties at the Oromoncto SPCA!
The original story and thread can be seen here http://www.ratshackforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22466

Two of the boys from the original group that moved into this cage were never adopted ..... but at least they had a good home for the remainder of their lives, thanks to the generosity of the members of this forum.

The CN cage has helped many ratties and served as an example for new rat owners on how to set up a rat cage and what types of things their new ratties need.

But it has been over three and a half years and the cage is not as well equipped as it once was.




The CN cage placed at the Oromoncto SPCA for use by ratties, Nov 2015



The top section of the CN, Nov 2015



The bottom section of the CN, Nov 2015


The double CN is still in good shape but as you can see, items have worn out and the cage is pretty bare.
When I recently visited, the ratties seemed to feel very exposed in the open cages and seemed very afraid.

I am hoping that if we work together we can set up our ratshack double CN cage so that it can again provide ratties with a good home and also serve as an example to new rat owners.

I know we can do it! :grouphug2:

I'm alittle confused on why you think I bought those items. I haven't sent anything yet. I've looked at a few places, but shipping cost more than the products.

 

[Godmother]

I got them litter pans and some other stuff, and I have some extra hammocks (now how dontoubsuppose I have some to spare??!). If they end up at Oromocto SPCA I will drop by regularly and make sure they have food.
If SQ reminds me, I will order them a wheel.

I will post pictures once I am able to deliver the supplies and set up the cage
