Work on the cage has slowed a little due to other commitments but all four doors have now been meshed and the aluminium angle has been cut to size. The angle will protect the doors from degu teeth and protect them from any sharp bits on the mesh edges.
2 of 4 doors with mesh attachedTomorrow I'm not expecting to get much done other than maybe a coat of paint on the outside as I'm frantically trying to meet a deadline for work. I had hoped my order of cage accessories would arrive today as the website had them sitting in my local delivery hub but it looks like it'll be Monday now.
I can't wait to get them! I've ordered:
- Some wooden bridges and ladders to use as ramps through the cage.
- A glass water bottle so that I can put it inside rather than through the doors.
- A 2 storey log cabin for their nest box.
- A grass hammock which they'll non doubt have chewed in a few hours.
- A temporary large wooden wheel. I'm hoping to be able to make them a flying saucer wheel from a metal dish and parts from a lazy susan soon.
I also have my chinchilla dust for their baths, some big balls made from grass and sisal for them to play with, a tube which I'll be using under the substrate as a hideaway, and a small wooden tunnel. I also have my eye on a branch designed for reptiles until I can go out and find some 'free' branches. I have a feeling that they'll eat £12.99 in no time though!
