We had a Fiesty Ferret Cage (2 levels) and decided to upgrade our fuzzies home to give them more room to play since we work long hours.
Need:
2 Ferret Cages of the same dimensions
1 Pair of Bolt Cutters
1 Hammer
1 Chisel
2 True 4" Pipe pieces (without the bubbled out ends)
4 True 4" Toilet Flanges
Plexi Glass Sheeting
Tape Measure
*And some common sense*
Cage 1 decide where you want there to be a thruway. Cut the opening to the exact size of the toilet flange. put the flange on the inside of the cage and hook the 4" pipe to the outside make sure they are tight. Cage 2 same thing but you want to make sure you do it on the side that will match up with the tunnel (opposite side).
Plexi-glass flooring - these cages have a longer barred floor instead of the small squared mesh type so the plexi glass is cut to the exact inside cage dimension and slides in for a perfect fit. (easy to clean and not real noticible to people looking at the cage) -- Had to cut into 2 pieces for the top level to make the hole for the ramp that goes down.
Can use tile/ carpet or plexi glass all in preference really- only worry with the vinyl tile is if the are able to scratch a corner up and start chewing on it.
I have included an album from my Facebook page as it was too many photos to upload. And it goes step by step.
