Hello
My name is Alexa, I currently have 5 dogs, 2 cats and 2 ferrets as part of my family and have previously had gerbils and rats.
Im new to degu and have been doing lots of research on care and cages prior to starting my search for new additions to my family.
I would prefer to rescue rather than buy from a pet shop if possible, as this is the way I have gained all my other furry friends. Although i haven't at present got the set up in place for my degu, should the right rescues come along then I think I could get sorted quite speedily.
Iv been looking at John Hopewell cages (if the rescues didnt come with a suitable home) I have had these recommended as a good design. Is this correct?
I look forward to chatting.
Alexa

Yep he makes very good cages, but in my experience they do cost alot! If you look on preloved or ebay and find a cage second hand most are in really good condition, good luck!

Hello, welcome to the fourm! Wow, you have ferrets? I adore ferrets! I don't own any, but I hope to in the future at some point! Good luck with rescuing some Goo's, have a look around the Adoption Zone on this forum - there are lots of Goo's looking for a home. As Cherpi said, I would try looking at gumtree, preloved or ebay for cages first before you jump ahead at a John Hopewell cage - his cages are wonderful, I admit but far to expensive for my tastes (I brought a much bigger cage that was the same price as a smaller JH cage). Or have you ever thought of building your own cage?

Hi Thanks for the welcome. I did think that some of his cages were a tad on the pricey side...but so far iv had no luck on gumtree or the other freead sites, ill have to keep an eye on ebay. I want to get something with plenty of room for them (still undecided on how many Goo to get) as iv been down the route before of buying what i could and then wanting to move them to something bigger.....I guess i like them to have a palace..... I have thought about building my own cage....but thats as far as it has got, im not great at things like that. But again something to look into. I have already found the adoption zone and had a good look at it.... just going to go and have another look now in fact.
