Now I Really Need A New Cage!!!!!

last night on doing my nightly checks, i went over to the mouse cage, pulled back the huge nesting pile to do a head count, and found this!!



a huge hole which all 6 could easily have got through!!!
both cats were already on my bed, and had been for about 15 minutes, while i wasnt in the room.
so you can imagine the panic
i grabbed my empty carry tank and started grabbit every one i saw and chucking them straight in there, i had to dig around a bit, but thankfully i found everyone, still in their cage

they are either very clever girlies, or obviously just love their cage

dont suppose any one has a nice big, narrow bar spaced cage going cheep do they?

Tanks aren't good for mice due to the lack of ventilation.

but they are also very heavy and a PITA to clean, and i would have to move a tank off the shelf to get in through the top, it would not be ideal, and the weight of one would probably collapse my shelfs

Re: Now I Really Need A New Cage!!!!!

Clever little buggers haha, Can't believe the size of the hole!
I currently use a tank with a mesh lid and wouldn't say it had good ventilation, thats why im building them a cage inside an alcove in my bedroom with a chipmunk cage above it

Good luck with finding a cage Lil Miss!
