I just got a ferret nation cage and I'm going to replace the plastic trays with custom metal pans. I'm wondering how high I should ask for the sides to be. Of course the higher the better to reduce mess but I don't want them to be higher than they have to. I was thinking 5" but maybe thats overkill? Would 3" be high enough or still quite messy? Any input from those of you who have FN metal pans would be greatly appreciated!
 
I don't have metal pans yet, looking at getting 3 1/2 inch pans, but honestly it depends on if you are using fleece or litter. If I had litter I would go with up to 6", but 3 or 3.5" should be fine for fleece as you just poop, hay, and the odd toy to contain. Also you don't want the half shelves open side (the side facing the middle of the cage) too high, if you are using them.
