Any suggestions on what to take out? I'm thinking of taking one of the cardboard boxes(homes) out as I bought the new little house thing, but only got one so will keep one box in til I get another one...?
P.S, the upsy daisy plate is only temporary lol been using it to put veggies on :) )
 
It might be a good idea to keep some of teh toys aside and change them when you clean their cage, that would mean that they are experiencing new things very week and giving them more space.
 
ok great idea, thanks :) or could keep them out and only use when having 'floor time'?
 
I would rotate them and have only one toy in at the time; you can use the others in your run.
 
ok thanks, :)
I'll try that, but if it causes arguments I'll keep two in and leave the rest out :)

Awww Patch loves the new hidey hole logs :D

You'll have to let me know what they do with the wooden coloured shape structure, I got my boys one and they never went near it rolleyes

I would agree to rotate the toys and hidey-holes with each clean. For one thing it's so cute when you put one of their favourites back in after it's been out for a while. For another thing it means everything isn't dirty all at the same time. I did that once at first and they had a bare pen while all their snuggly and canvas things dried on the line...:red
 
Biscuit had a little nibble at it already, not for long but he did :D
They both love the log thing :)
That's a very good point, about not having everything dirty at the same time! Thanks :)
I'm still looking to invest in some cosy cups and snuggy things for them, I know I'll need at least 2 for each so when one is washing they have one already clean and dry to use :)

Thanks x
 
if you rearrange it a bit you could have more room. Ie one of houses next to the door and the other in the corner where the toy is, You could bring the toy to the middle and they could run round it better than they can a house!
 
I rearranged it this morning, I've taken the cardboard boxes out, and will use them in their run (well when they have floor time, as I don't have an actual run just yet! i just block any gaps/holes to behind furniture so they can't hide where I can't retrieve them lol)
And put the house in the cage, with the logs, and the small chew block and a food bowl in there, this doesn't leave much space... but then the cage door is always open, and they can get out, so outside I've left the colourful toy, a blanket wrapped into a ark shape to snuggle in, and a small basket of hay to eat/sit in, and a food bowl, and one water bottle each side of the cage so they can drink from in or outside. oh and the hay rack and hanging hay ball.
a little more space outside now so if they want to run about they can outside, then sleep inside :)
I am hoping to get a bigger cage soon, just raising the funds!
They came into my life so unexpedely (although I'm thrilled they have!) I just didn't have the time to get things ready for them!
