Here are some pics of one of my mice cages.
Sorry about the creepy winnie the pooh in the background, it's my sisters!

Here's Georgi!




His Imac cage


(top right corner is usually a bed but the walls are attached to the roof)


His play pen. (Lacking on toys in there. He plays here every few days, under my supervision of course).


Some people have pictures of hutches too, I may post mine tomorrow.

How do you keep it weighted down so they don't scrunch it up? also do you have anything else undreneath it/ i am looking for the most effective way ofmainatianing an easy to clean home for our girls. We lined the shelves with lino to save their little feet on the wire. We also put in a litter box, that is more of a toy!!! I was toying with the idea of placing meazorb or such like over the entire ground floor..but they still wee over the top floor too!
But I had read about fleece ...do you just chuck it in the machine with the hammocks each week?

Erm, my liners are made of fleece sewn together with towelling. I used to lay down towels and then lay fleece over the top but because it wasn't completely flat the girls thought it more fun to burrow in the towels. Now that I sew them together and they're flat they're not so bothered. So I don't have anything underneath them now.

I generally put the food bowls in one corner, litterbox in another, house in another and a wheel in the last. That way the corners are all held down and they're less likely to burrow. That being said, they like to tell me when they think their cage is too dirty and on about the 6th day they'll shove it all in a corner for me

I clean it out every Sunday so I just take the liner out and any dirty hammocks(they tend to stick to just one or two during the week so I'll take those two out rather than the whole lot) and stick them in the rat laundry bag. I have enough liners and hammocks to last me quite a while, so I only tend to do rat washing every two weeks when the laundry bag gets full.

I would say though it's an absolute must to have your rats litter trained if you're going to use fleece. Otherwise they'll squish their poops into the 'carpet' which is not pleasant and it'll smell really quickly.
For litter training it really helps if you have a large litter box, and one without a dip.
I had this one for ages and I was having to hoover the cage everyday. They really like to push their litter around before settling down to poop and because of the dip it just all fell out the sides. So even though they were litter-trained their were still poops all over the floor.
They also seemed to prefer their big one over that little one so now I have just regular plastic trays.
Something like this

Although if you're buying new and for girls I'd really recommend the pink polka dot cat litter tray in P@H. It's so cute! I really want it, but since I already have 2 litter trays I can't really justify it just yet

As for putting fleece on the shelves you might be able to hold it down with bulldog clips depending on the shelves.

I think I covered everything, but if you have anymore questions just ask!

Thank you Malty...bull dog clips..of course! Why didn't I think of that!
I'll get sewing tomorrow..got lots of fleece and some lovely 70's towelling ....bright blue with big yellow and orange flowers! But as it will be underneath it won't matter!!
Like the idea of the poka dot tray..our girls have one just like your first one...which explains why it's all over the place.
Thanks again

Lol, 70s towelling is the best!
I got my nan to donate loads of her old towels to me for the liners. Got some lovely lacey orange stuff in there
The cage is pretty big though so I can only use bath sheets.
Primark is your place if you ever need to buy new towels. I got ones big enough for my cage for £5 each!
