Shop Brought Cage with a Mezzanine level...

[1stTimePiggieOwner]

Hi Everyone

We currently have this cage (But we removed the grey house thing as it is useless!):

http://www.petsathome.com/find/keyword-is-rabbit+120/product-is-23808

Whilst what I really really want to do is build a C & C, I am thinking that in the short term I can put a mezzanine level into this cage where I can put the food and hay etc (IF my boys will use a ramp- I'll have to wait and see with that but I can at least try) then the boys will have the whole of the bottom floor to run and popcorn x) around in. That is the plan.

Now I know I've seen this done, on here somewhere and I have tried to search but not having much luck.

Could somebody please point me in the direction of some piccies where this has been done as I'm not the most handy of people and will need to sort of pinch some ideas on hows best to do this.:red

Thank you

I've put a mezzanine into my cage and it works really well. The piggies use it alot. The addition of a Chube on the ramp was really popular, they like running up and down through it.

brilliant idea !

Thanks Banana, that's exactly the sort of thing I'm wanting to achieve. I love the use of the chube, very clever idea. What is your mezzanine floor made of exactly and is it just resting on the bars of the cage or is it attached somehow? Sorry for all the questions, I said I'm not very handy, I'm much more an idea's kind of person! lol x

I've added a level to a shop bought cage too, using spare grids

I have this shelf for my indoor cage

With the ramp which is further down the page. I put a wooden house with fleece flooring in and my piggies loved it when they were inside.

Here's mine

It's made with spare grids from my c&c but a cooling try would work as well. It's attached by cableties and the white box is made from Correx and glued in the box shape.

Ramp covered with roofing felt.

Sorry I didn't get round to replying to this earlier, I haven't had much time for posting recently. I see from your subsequent thread that you've got it all figured out anyway, so well done!
