:joy: :joy: :joy:
Got my CN today, made liners for the shelves/trays . . .assembled everything . . . phew :sleepy:

Top Level

I love the rope thing!
Did you do that yourself? and How do you fasten it?
The cage look great! :thumbup:

Thanks! The ropes are braided strips of fleece. I used dollar store plastic shower hooks (just slipped them through the end knot and clipped to to cage ceiling)

great job!!
love the teal/lime green combo and specially the little "couch" area

Thanks! I love those colors, too. I am always drawn to blues/greens. The little "couch" is a ferret bed I bought a while ago inside a dollar store bin. I am having loads of fun decorating . . .on another note, this cage is so much easier to spot-clean!

My boyfriend bought me the new shelves and this pirate ship bed for my birthday! I :heart: him hehe.

So, I have a cute piRATe cage! I have a few other pirate fabrics I've been dying to make sets with, especially since now that I'm using my CN again I need to make larger sets, but I've had so many hammock orders I haven't had time

Anyway, enough talking, here's the pics!

Times like these I really regret painting my bass pans pink though :giggle:

Dont! haha I love it, gives the cage a nice finished look and that oomph of color to compliment the rest of your beautiful creations! I love the pirate fabric too. I have a flat from Chelle with that pattern in Flannel, and I have a yard of cotton here hehe

 

[Dazzle87]

Haha well thanks. I'm just weird about things matching, at the time I figured all my hammocks would be pink, but I see such cute less girly sets like this pirate fabric! I had to get it lol.

Since I have my foster mom in the top half, my perma-rats are in the bottom half of the CN, so I only decked out that part all matchy matchy

Their new frog toy

My dog charlie loves the rats and the fact that he can check them out more easily with the CN

[Dazzle87]

I know more of you have to have CN's :stickpoke: lol

I'll go anyway even though I didn't want to since mine was the last one posted haha.

The mushroom house is sweet, but, for in the cage I need to grommet it, I'm so tired of picking it back up LOL Silly rats. They do love that thing though.

 

[AshleyRayeRats]

That is super cute!! Did you make it? Buy it? Do tell!!

 

[Dazzle87]

Very cute Dazzle! Love the pink, that mushroom house is too adorable.

All the cages in this thread are so nice!

 

[Dazzle87]

Thank you. Sometimes I feel like I'm like a kid with a dollhouse haha!

I was wondering, how many female rats would a single CN be able to house comfortably? No sites I've checked have the measurments of just the cage, it always includes the shelf.
Since I remember someone saying a double could potentially house 9 or 10, would a single then just be 4 or 5?

 

[Dazzle87]

Its true measurements are 36x24x48, single 24high, so 6 in a single, although if you do that I'd really recommended buying the extra shelf.

The cage calcs put a double at 12, so a single is 6, but a good rule of thumb is to subtract one from that number. I've had 5 girls in a single and they've been very very comfortable. 6 is doable but not ideal

[Dazzle87]

Yes, I agree it is much better to max the cage out at 10, or 5.

Ametropia, your cage looks very fun for them!

Thanks guys! I think a double would be the way to go once I get the moneyz.
