Hi Everyone! I was looking up breeding cages as I have a pair I am thinking of putting together in the next few months and I have a question regarding the size of a breeding cage and how to attatch the nest box.

 

Is a 24 1/4" x 15 3/4" x 12" a good size for a breeding cage? Here's a picture of the one I like:

And also I had my normal cage that I tried to breed them in last time and I used bungie cords to support the nest box, but I was wondering is there an easier way to attach it for instance to that breeding cage?

 

Thanks! :)

Hi,

 

that breeding cabinet size is probably fine, but the nestbox looks way too tiny. As far as attaching the nestbox goes, I have used large cable ties... works brilliantly, many just use hooks.

As I started looking at more cages I agree that, that one is to small. I found an all wire one which seems quite roomy. It is 30 X 18 X 18 inches. Here's a picture:

Does this one seems more appropriate size? And could be a suitable breeding cage? I took Daz's advice on not to go smaller than the 24 inches.

 

 

Thanks for the responses.
