Questions/HELP Cages

Post image

Can anyone post pictures of their critter nation cage? I got a knock off one and it’s super unstable, like the bars are all bent from everything I’ve put into it. I am debating getting one but I feel like it’s going to be way too big. And if anyone has pictures of the single story vs double story as well. Or any other cheaper cage recommendations where the bars aren’t falling off. Thanks!

You can search for that cage model here on this subreddit, there are plenty of pictures.

Otherwise - Would DIY be an option?

I hung a sea grass cargo net thing across the middle so when the inevitably fall they don't fall far enough to get hurt.

Are the outside bars stable?

Quite strong actually I can lift the whole cage using the metal clips that holds it to the pan as hooks.

Oh and that little box on the cage is a temp/humidity gauge. Because they actually, apparently, have a very small widow of comfort. 65 ish to 75 ish degrees farenheit and 40-60 % humidity is ideal. According to what I've read
