Just thought you guys would like to see Bradley and Barney's new cage. It was quite a kerfuffle getting it to my house and I did have words with zooplus lol
Anyhow, now it's here and the boys have settled in nicely, although as of yet they're not too keen on using the bottom level, hopefully with time they'll get used to it.
This is the cage I've bought:
http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/small_pets/hutches_cages/rabbit_cage/140_cm_cages/179119
Firstly, I'd like to say that if you decide to purchase this cage to have extra water bottles handy. I used the ones that came with it and straight away they started to leak as well as slipping down the bottle holders! Also, as the bottle itself isn't very transparent it can be tricky to see the water level.
The hay racks I have given up using as they just didn't fit on to the cage very well and hay was literally falling everywhere! The ramp is poorly made, it's very slippy and I had to modify mine a lot before I could use it. I added sides to the ramp as well as carpetting and wooden rungs. Otherwise your guinea will just slip about, mine ended up sliding down to the bottom at a fast speed, poor little mites were scared stiff!
Constructing the cage can be difficult as it comes with no instructions, unfortunately when mine arrived it arrived a bit bashed all ready but I have managed to straighten the metal out. The one huge bonus of this cage is its size! If you are unable to make a C&C then I would recommend this as it is one of the largest cages on the market. Also, the top is easy to clean as the whole front lifts up for easy access, the bottom level is a little harder and I have to literally go in up to my shoulders to clean it. :{
