My chins were in a custom cage built made by one of my relatives for about 2-3 years. It worked well for them. They did chew corners but we were able to cover it with mesh so they'd leave it alone. If you were to do this, I would recommend making metal guards on the corners and having metal pans...

Ah okay! Thats good because I really wanted to buy some homemade ledges from my breeder :) I'll definitely will be changing to aspen after this bag (y) Thanks a bunch guys!

What about kiln-dried pine ledges? Wouldn't it be the same?

I've been using fleece liners for quite awhile now and I make our own with the anti-pill ones from Walmart. Our chins love it as well lol. The liners are only on the 2nd and 3rd story and on all the shelves (including the bottom) that comes with the critter nation cage, while the shavings are on...

Huh that is quite interesting 🤨 Like you said its very confusing but good to know! Anyways... so basically softwood shavings are very similar to kiln dried pine bedding. I suppose it's just a bit different but overall it still contains toxic oils. I mean my boys seem fine right now. I have them...

Same! I am definitely not a wood expert! I'm pretty sure the douglas fir is safe. I found an older post about someone who wanted to make shelves out of it for their chins. Just have to make sure its kiln-dried which the company says it is, so that's good! I was googling tulip poplar though...

Update! So I found the website and I think they have two different types? One says screened shavings while the other doesn’t. I use the one that’s not screened. The two types of woods they brought up were white wood (tulip poplar) and doug-fir. Here’s the link: Wood Shavings – Bitterroot Valley...

Hm that's very concerning... I'll definitely have to look into that. I think we used to buy aspen but switched (this was a couple years back). Might have to switch back depending on what the company says. Speaking of which, I bought my gerbils aspen snake bedding but don't plan on giving it...

Hi again! The breeder I bought my chins from uses this bedding for their chinchillas Murdoch's – Bitterroot Forest Products - Softwood Shavings It says kiln-dried wood...does that mean pine? spruce? My chins have used it for about 5 years now and would like to use it for my gerbils as well...

Update: I ended up buying a hammock from Pandamonium and I think my boys love it! I was able to buy one that was ready to ship and it came within days. Definitely recommend their shop!

Okay, I might order some things after the holidays :)

Oh I think I saw that one. I thought it was an old site but I guess I was wrong! I clicked on your link and checked out a few of their products and so far I love the prices and how they have a bunch of different things! How long did it take for you to get your products? The regular 5-7 days?

Yeah, I ordered their hammocks but I just realized they won't be here until the 30th...so I'm cancelling that. I'm thinking of asking a relative to sew one for me out of fleece since I use it for their bedding anyway. I really only use Oxbow's alfalfa pellets that I mix with another brand, and...

I found them on Chewy, but yeah I think I'll just pass on those. I don't want to buy a product that have little information about the materials.

Yes! I've been looking at their items for awhile now but just haven't gotten around to buying anything haha
