No more flinging poo :)

[Skittles1101]

So I had one of those wire, three story ferret cages for my rats, which worked really nice when they were smaller since they love to climb and run around, however it's SUCH a PITA to clean. They are both males so they fling poo everywhere, and they musk eachother and the cage constantly, and I finally had enough. So, with the guidance of three awesome members I decided to try out a tub set up.
The ramps were from the 3 story cage, mainly there just for extra climbing and to reach their hammock.


With the lid, I put screen up there for a little extra ventilation and for a place to hang their hammock that they adore

Small square on the side for water bottle

They had a bath too, so they are cleaning themselves and checking things out

I cut small "T" shaped holes on both sides for climbing space, the wire expands over the holes by about 3 inches. The holes in the chicken wire are also much smaller than they seem, so it will be very difficult for their large turds to escape. I also know that ideally, the screen should be on the inside, however the edges are VERY sharp and I worried about them injuring themselves. They've never really been huge chewers, I give them plenty of wood and alfalfa blocks to chew on, as well as a strip of newspaper to rip up occasionally. I have my fingers crossed they don't don't start chewing now. I never saw it or heard it in their other cage, so I guess I'll find out tonight after my work shift
