How time flies!
Recently I've been inspired by the many wonderful cage ideas and pictures on Guinea Lynx, and so I decided to remodel Miss Sakura's cage.

Recently I've been inspired by the many wonderful cage ideas and pictures on Guinea Lynx, and so I decided to remodel Miss Sakura's cage.
Points I considered:
- As many already know, Miss Sakura recently celebrated her 5th birthday.
- Sakura has not been using the upper loft or mini-loft very often after Ginny's death last year. Perhaps the lofts are not necessary?
- Sakura still enjoys playing with draped towels and fabrics. She feels most secure when part of her body is hidden.
- If there is only one good hiding spot in the cage, she will not move around very much. She needs more than one hiding spot.
Now, Miss Sakura invites everyone to view her new cage!

Very cool step by step pictures!
I love those mini grids, they make a great hay rack.

Awesome set of pics and cage design. So glad the little miss approves. I'll have to look for some mini grids.
How steep is the ramp for the loft area? We put a 2nd floor loft for hay as they were making...well piggies of thier cage but the ramp seems so steep I don't know if they'll go up it. We have not opened up the 2nd floor yet until we figured out the ramp. So far we cut the coroplast 6" wide for the bottom and 5" high for the sides. We have to get something to put on the bottom so they have traction and then secure it but looking at the length and the angle I was not sure they would even go up it.
