Come on in!

Just cleaned the cage and added a lot of perches. Just thought I'd show off the boys' home!

Wow, it looks great!! I bet they LOVE having so much wood to chew on. Where did you get all the wood perches?

Your chins are beautiful!!

 

[Pikaia]

Wow, looks amazing!! The wood perches are great! I bet your chins love those!! I also love your swing by Twilight Chinchillas

You did a wonderful job!

i like that tin can hay holder idea! neat!

 

[Shooper]

Chinny Mom-It's a coffee can!

Misty- I sell them right now (had to cut down our dogwood tree)

Thanks, they are lovin it!

 

[Ratchilla]

Love the cage, Shooper! Everything looks great!

 

[Brittany]

Looks great! Very spoiled boys!

I love the 7th pic---of the chin in the wooden bed---and yes, coffee can is an awesome idea!

 

[ChinnyMom]

you must have some big chinnies! lol. i thought it was smaller than a coffee can. Rhino has a bigger coffee can as his fleece tube base. maybe i'll try the hay holder idea with a big soup can, since even the smaller coffee can, IMO, would be much too big a hay holder for just one chin.

I put a hole in the end of the coffee can and then bolt it onto the side of cage like a tunnel...if not they would roll it everywhere!

oh lol! i just envisioned your chins running on the top of the can, all over their cage. :rofl:

that's what i did with Rhino's coffee can tube, poked a couple holes in it, took some bolts and washers and wingnuts, and attached it to the cage bars. it's his favourite place to hang out now )

That's a great looking cage! That's one of the types i was wanting to buy, but i think we might just make something bigger and better out of the one we have now. It's plenty big for him, just need some more bells and whistles. Love the cage, thanks for sharing!

How did you attached the can to the cage? thats a great idea~


opps! i didnt see someone had posted this sorry

I thought so too, about Sappho----but I'm finding she goes through hay like nobody's business. I really wanted to get a cute hay bag for her cage, but I doubt it would even be utilized.

How did you get rid of the sharp edges around the coffee can??

 

[Shooper]

There werent any... The open part was smooth and I just put a small hole in the bottom to attach it with.

 

[Rebecca1122]

In that first picture, is one of your chins in a litter pan? lol!

 

[SarahKay]

I really like the coffee can idea too! That's a cheap way to make a little chin hidey house isn't it? And perfect for hay as well!
Your setup is lovely and your chins look quite pleased with it. You're making me feel guilty about the measly setup my boys have to tolerate!
