A Few, Simple, Updates to a 200 qt Bin Cage
Oh, how just one platform can make such a difference!
Now that little Fred & Miles have been with me a few weeks, I decided it was time to give them a quick upgrade - something that would enrich their lives without disturbing their current set up too much.
For Fred, I only added two things:
1- a Niteangel 7” Platform (wave shape) with adhesive cork on top to provide grip (https://amzn.to/49G3jUs & https://amzn.to/49kvHLY )
2- a Niteangel bendy bridge, altered to have sphagnum moss hot-glued onto it to prevent tiny toes from getting stuck in the gaps (https://amzn.to/49CrfrE & https://amzn.to/42JxIic & https://amzn.to/3uusGK1 )
I also added some additional bedding to his pile so he had more to work with for burrowing, in addition to some nice sprays from Oakwood Forest Shop :)
I was having trouble keeping Fred from getting bedding in his water bowl, so having it on a platform helps solve that issue for me.
I also recently purchased him the Bucatstate Cactus Water Bottle & Stand (https://amzn.to/3uw7jrI ), I’m excited to get that in there and see how cute it looks!
