What carriers do you use/recommend?

[neoow]

Hello all,

 

I'm looking for a new carrier for Alfie. Unfortunately money is a bit of an issue at the moment (housemate moved out a few months ago and I'm still paying off the credit card bill for Alfie's new cage that I got last month) so I need something that's reasonably priced.

 

Up 'til now I've just used a plastic dog/cat carrier but I don't really like it. It's ok (as in- it does the job of transporting him) but I'd rather get something I can put a perch in so he can grip on to something rather than slide about on the paper in the bottom of the carrier.

 

What do you use or what can you recommend?

 

Many thanks!

My apologies! I completely missed that one. I'll go and take a look now, thank you.

I've heard of folks mounting a perch inside a dog/cat carrier. No reason that won't work if that's the only concern. For a 'carrier,' I have two small cages I use for trips.

If you need to watch money, I would just do as Mark mentioned and mount a bolt on perch in your dog/cat carrier. You can get those perches at most pet stores these days, drill a hole down low in the carrier, and pop it in. Cheaper yet would be finding a safe natural branch and installing it the same way.
