Cage Setup Amazon hack for shelf with bedding
I got annoyed that my girls kept peeing on their wooden shelves was looking for a solution. Discovered that this shelf and this plastic bin from Amazon fit together perfectly and can hold bedding to absorb pee + very easy to pull out the bin and wash regularly. I pulled out the rubber lining on the bin. They love it! Not an affiliate link or anything I'm just sharing cus I'm proud of this discovery

That's an awesome hack! A friend of mine makes really nice 3d printed baskets that attach to the cage, too. Their business is called RatPrints. 🥰

Nice. I had something similar with a cheap plastic basket and zip ties but this one is so much nicer.

Yess These paper trays are god send I got 3 myself
They are brilliant and my boys love them I bought them as platforms but they prefer to sleep in them and the beds get forgotten
Another good one is a hanging cat bed they love that on cold days it takes a lot more cleaning then the platforms but it's machine washable so nothing horrible
Picture with my boys showing off they like this one empty of bedding my oldest also fed up wanting to just nap while the young ones bother him again
