Hello earhtmother@hotmail.com (Elaine Jacobs),

In reference to your comment:

<< 1) What can I use between the cages so they can get
<< from level to level? There is a 6" square hole between
<< all the levels, dead centre. >>

Elaine, I would put ranks going in opposite directions from each
hole to make sure they didn't fall from the top level to the bottom.
Or you could use the chicken wire, cover with carpeting to make
stairs and again cushion any falls.

<< 2) What can I use a flooring on the wire? I have used plastic
canvas but they
<< chew it and tear it and I am worried about them ingesting it.
<< Any other suggestions? I have looked at vinyl flooring
but the cost is prohibitive at the moment. >>

I would try using linolium(sp), which is easy to clean and doesn't
hold ordors like wood and fabric does.

Hope this helps! :D
