Degu Cages
It's really hard to find decent cages that don't cost an arm and a leg! I was looking at this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-tier-ferret-...ht_1908wt_1139 but people say it's a pain to clean, I was planning on getting it for my birthday and then putting card on the shelves until I got some tiles or some lino or something People also say it stinks and rusts, but these people keep rats in it, would it be the same with degus? if so any suggestions on good cheap cages.

Re: Degu Cages
I know someone who kept 2 male rats in one of those cages and it did stink. Also know someone who has a chinchilla in one and its the same.....

Re: Degu Cages
What if I removed the metal shelves and replaced with wood?

Re: Degu Cages
Think aslong as the wood is coated with something non toxic that would stop it from soaking in urine that would be better

Re: Degu Cages
Horrible cage to clean. I changed the shelves from mesh to wood and its just a horrible, sharp pointy cage. Like i said, hard to clean too
 Door locks are horrible. I had one before the cage i have now.I recommend looking for second hand parrot cages  they are usually high enough and if you get the right kinda one then itll be perfect x

Re: Degu Cages
i had one of those for a pair of chins, they are horrid cages.
the doors open inwards so toy space is VERY limited, i didnt find it too hard to clean, i just found it a nightmare to use as a cage, cleaning was the simplest thing about it, it was every other aspect i hated

Re: Degu Cages
Decide to just buy a second hand, from ebay or preloved!
