Cages on the internet

[Eamon]

Hi, does anyone know of a good site where you can order a cage(not too expensive, I'm a student).
At the mo Gucci's alone, so I have been keeping him in a terrarium, but as he's getting tamer, I've decided that it is almost time to get him a little boyfriend(Louis Vuitton) and they'll need more space. I'm going to the pet shop tomorrow to see what they've got, but last time I checked they had nothing I could use, and without a car, it's kinda hard to go looking for a cage in other towns...

Ebay (online auction site) is a great place to get them cheap, not sure if you have that in Denmark?

No, no ebay, I mean I know what it is, but i don't thing anything i buy there could be shipped to here... thanks though.
And I found a really great, cheep one, too, but at the american ebay. But I'll try the german ebay, that's right below Denmark, maby they ship here

[Eamon]

nope, no shipping to denmark.

I bought my cage from here www.doghealth.co.uk/ferret.htm
It came flat packed in only 3 days, great value for money, much bigger than what the boys had before, and BRILLIANT!!!!

That looks great, Meg. And cheeper than the #¤*% they sell on zooplus(that just doesn't look safe with all that plastic). Now I just have to save up the money. but my birthday's comming up and my mum loves Gucci, she'll help with the costs. Also, I'll be getting Gucci a boyfriend soon, and I'd like it if none of them knew the cage before the other, that way Gucci wont be instantly king of the hill...

Maybe fix the old cage to the new one to give them double the space? i did it to mine and it gives them so much more room!

Gucci is female isnt she? I would STRONGLY advice getting the same sex as a companion. They will get on fine if introduced carefully, and you wont have any of the many problems that arrise in a mixed sex set up.

If you have a male and female you have two options. The female is frequently pregnant and you have to continually re-home babies, or you have the male neutered, although possible its a risk, and if you have yet to purchase another degu it is a rather unnecessary risk!

Other than that, I think its a good idea waiting to introduce two to the cage, yes its a good price, I was very pleased with it. I agree about the cages on zooplus, they certainly wouldnt be degu safe!

keep us posted!

Meg, Gucci is a boy! (time for some new glasses Meg) lol!!!!
It says it as well on under her avater!

[Eamon]

yes he is a boy, and yes i am getting him a boy friend (it's not my english being bad), I just figured since he'll never have a girlfriend, might as well convince him he's gay...
