ticklechin - how did you attach the tiled shelves? Do you have any pictures of your cage you could post? Thanks!

I have never wanted an air conditioner in my house even though it gets pretty hot here in MA in the summer and hubby and I toss and turn all night in the heat. But today I went to Walmart and bought one for the chins! How bad is that! Also just bought them (off craig's list) a new cage and...

Welcome! Turtle is adorable!!! That's the problem with going to those shows. It's sooo easy to fall in love with the pets there! After having all the conventional pets, my family has gotten into the exotic ones now. We have 2 chins, corn snake, bearded dragon and 2 cats. I have a feeling...

I have a martin cage with a pull out bottom. Every morning (after they've been up and playing all night) I sweep the poops off the shelves and out of their tube and house. The pull out bottom is lined with newspaper so I just roll it up and replace it every day. If Clyde would use the litter...

I found I was wasting a lot of hay by using a hay ball so I bought a metal bowl that attaches to the cage. I use the same type of bowl for their food. They don't waste one piece this way! I love your cage! I'll be setting up my new martin cage this weekend. Hope you don't mind if I borrow...

flooring in playpens Ok, so I still want to turn my daughter's room into a "chin room". There is carpet of the floor. What do you put on the floors of your playpens? I have a large tarp, but I don't like the noise it makes and I don't think the chins will either. I thought about buying a...

I had been using thin plywood to block off my hallways (hubbies in construction so I have tons of it) but it is heavy and bulky. I went to a box factory and picked up a huge piece of corrugated cardboard (48x83) for $3. I needed the height because Bonnie is a jumper. This huge piece blocks...

Was wondering which one chin owners prefer the saucer or the wheel? Sounds like which came first, the chicken or the egg! I have a wheel that they love, but when I expand their cage, I will get another one. Just wondering which one I should get.

So I want to expand the housing and play area for my chins. They are now in a Martin skyscraper. I was able to pick up a cheap Martin town house on craigs list. I plan to take out all the wire shelves and scrub it all down. Is there any safe way to spray paint this cage? The chins don't...

Wow! What an impressive play area those lucky chins have! I've been looking around for a design. What are the dimensions of yours? Do they stay in there all the time, or just to play? Thanks, Kathy
