After playing outside of his cage for 30-45 minutes, Andie always ends up in the front corner of his cage, passed out. I find this unnerving since it looks like he is dead! He lays there for a good 5 minutes then he is up and ready to play in his cage. Is this normal? Is he getting too much...

Thank you so very much for the compliment! The jars are cheap plastic ones that I bought at Wal Mart They probably hold about 2 quarts. I do have a big rubbermaid container behind the ones you see in front that holds his hay. For the floor I bought cheap tiles from Home Depot. I think they...

Cage looks great! Love how you beveled the edges of the wood ledges. They look professional!

Your boys are very handsome. Love the third picture of them snuggling. They look so sweet and happy.

Oh, now you have me wanting to try to make one. Yours looks great! And Angel is beautiful! :heart5: her color.

chefscott, I used cheap ceramic tiles from Home Depot. I took out the wire bottom and replaced it with a piece of wood. The tiles are glued on with wood glue, then grouted. Makes for very easy clean up and Andie loves laying on the cool floor after playing :)

Thanks for the info. Looks like Andie may just have yo live his life out solo unless I can find some additional space.

I forgot to add in my previous post that I purchased my Fiesty Ferret from PetSupplies. I was very pleased with their service and shipping. My cage arrived very quickly. And when I did have a problem with the two bars that I mentioned earlier, the service person was trying to help me but I...

I have had the Fiesty Ferret cage for 3 months and while I am happy with it, if I had to do it over again, I would pay the difference and get the FN. I have two of the smaller bars that have come unwelded from the frame. The company did send me two new sides to replace the defective ones, but...

I know there are no hard fast numbers, but would say in general that most chinchillas bond after being properly introduced? I have been reading up on all the guidelines and suggestions on how to slowly introduce two males so that they will bond. I'd love to find another male for Andie to be...

:)Thanks everyone for the compliments. I am really happy that I was able to build a fun place for Andie to live. He deserves it

I have a 4" fleece covered PVC pipe for my Andie and I think it is too small. He can barely get his hiney in it! I'm thinking I need to get him a larger 6" pipe. Just wished I could find a place that sold small sections of the 6" pipe so I didn't have to purchase such a long piece:hmm:

Looks like you have plenty to keep your guys busy. Love your cage. Amazing job on building it yourself :)

Finally finished Andie's new home. Special thanks to JessiLynn for the inspiration. The pictures of her cages inspired me to get to work on Andie's and add some new and hopefully fun features. We brought Andie into our home two months ago. Found him in a local online ad. His cage had...

I'm not up on gir from Invader Zim, but this is a seriously cute box!
