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.
