design idea of animal cage

animal cage design ideas for your pet.

The cage can be made of anything, but you'll want an interior surface that does not absorb water or is easily chewed. Melamine panels (often found in the bathroom section of the big box stores) often make the best choice. The panels wipe clean with a moist cloth and they cannot be chewed unless the chinchilla can find an edge. Ideally, you should get the 1/8 inch panels if you can find them, as the thicker panels are heavy and hard to work with. With the thinner panels you can easily carry the cage by yourself. The main reason I love panels is that it keeps the chinchilla mess inside the cage, but you can just as easily use 1/2 by 1 inch wire to cover the sides of your cage.

After the cage is free from the accessories, you can start washing it. In this case, you can wash the cage and the accessories together. Soak them in hot water before you scrub all surfaces of the cage and the accessories. For this, you can use a sponge or a scrub brush with antibacterial soap. After that, you have to rinse them with hot water.

Maybe you've also had the displeasure of visiting a zoo with lower standards of upkeep and 'presentation'. Maybe it's a bare-bones cage so small the animal within barely has room to turn around (or even a larger enclosure that just holds too many occupants). You know these animals are not as happy (or healthy) as their counterparts who have ample or even 'plush' accommodations.
