Acappella Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have this cage and stand I inherited with Dorian. It's actually from a retail display meant to hold 2 cages. I have the cage on the bottom because I don't feel it's stable enough on the top. There are a couple pictures attached. Here are my questions. 1. Is this cage large enough for a sleep cage, or to take Dorian out with me now and then this summer while I garden? It's 17 1/2" x 17 1/2 " x 28"H 2. The metal bars of the stand have a few chipped spots. I cleaned it off well. Could I spray paint it with pet safe metal paint (this spring when it warms up), or I thought I could wrap the bars with sisal rope. Then would it be safe for Dorian to climb on it? 3. Dorian doesn't have a play gym. Could I make the upper part of the stand into a gym by wrapping it and adding ladders & stuff (here's where I need the creative help.) Thanks in advance for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think for a sleep cage, it will be fine. Do you have a place for some food and water dishes? Some like to snack at night. I think for going outside, it will be perfect, and I love the idea of the play area on top. It has great potential!! I would be careful about the painting though, if the paint has chipped off, it will continue. The sisal rope might be a better option. You could have it sandblasted and then painted also. I'm sure others here will have different ideas. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well that has loads of potential It will be fine as a sleep cage, as Talon said be sure to add a few dishes.I would personally use the sisal rope around the bars, it's much better for their feet than perching on the metal.you should be able to drill a few holes & hang some toys up.A ladder is a good idea, im sure once you put your mind to it,it will look fab, make sure you show us the end result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
