misscatafer i love your apartment! What cages do you have? They look super nice

bouncy I've watched your videos of yours playing and they are so spoilt with how much room they get, it's sweet they only come out to see you

degulover21 do you have any troubles with them being in your room?

zenaida what playpen do you use? That was my biggest trouble with Dave as when she was in the living room she also couldn't just have the room and i found a wooden wire pen with a top but I couldn't get in with her without lifting the top off

no not really only when they start barking in the middle of the night other than that no😀

Thanks! Our cage is two of these fixed together: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005CAYUKY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514586274&sr=8-1&keywords=blenheim+extra+tall+rat+cage

And I have a play pen made of this: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016DY1MD0?tag=vigukb-5-21 it is fantastic, we just taped each piece together with black electrical tape. Have been using it every day for 5 months with no damage, escapes or chewing. It is light as a feather to move around and folds up if needed.

degulover21 that's good! The only thing I couldn't handle was constantly sweeping

misscatafer that sounds like the perfect play pen 😄 easy to expand on too, do you have any troubles with them chewing the plastic shelves of the cage?

[misscatafer]

Yes, they do chew the plastic shelves. I have covered mine with the glass surface protector chopping boards from pound land, there is no way they will get through them!

well now they have the room I don't have to worry, do your degus not chew your kitchen cabinets?

Funnily enough, no!

I have no idea how you get away with the cabinets, Bouncy! Mine chewed the door and skirting boards until I shifted them to the other end of the dining room and lined the walls of their playpen. In fact I then had to line the lining because I varnished the mdf and they loved chewing it, so I had to put glass and metal over that. Mine chew everything.

[misscatafer]

Same... Mine chew everything they have access to! They even chew the wooden floor if I'm not careful. They only thing they don't chew is the actual playpen... This corrugated plastic stuff... It's unbelievable! I truly think they just don't see it as it's black.

[davethedegu]

See Dave isn't a chewer but Flash is BIG time, even Dave can't resist the door frame though... anything I purposely buy for them to chew they show little interest in
