my husband and I have been talking about making this. it will be a few wks since my pigs neurter and house payment must come first. so here is the question: from everybody who has cut the FN cages, what is the best/easiest way to cut the cage? I figure, it is a 3 level cage, with 3 litter boxes. that will make it like they have another 1 1/2 levels to play in.

Some, instead of cutting the FN, use a plywood sheet cut to fit one of the walls of the cage and bolted in place. The hole for the tube is then cut into that.

How do they specifically bolt it into place Sherry? I have the new FN 182, which I love! I don't have any of the complaints about it like some other people do. I find mine to be quite sturdy. But since it's the locking settup, do I just zip tie the plywood or plexiglass into place instead of bolting it?

Selantra- go to the first page on this thread. There is a link a few posts down for the old site. Click that and scroll down. You'll see the details there.

I like that idea of the chicken wire and plywood! I may make a project out of that one weekend. And see if it will help in my litter box training

Evening All, Barleymum suggested we try the girls out with a remote littler box, but she didn't want to cut up the side of the Explorer Cage we've got. So, with a bit of a hangover I set to work building a replacement side panel out of wood and some wire mesh. The girls used it right away! Well, almost. Cake seemed pretty desperate to use it but the other two kept coming to see what was going on . Eventually she got some peace and got to go. The other two used it not long after.

That looks like an awesome idea. Ill have to try it. My cage has a wire grill on the bottom and they don't like to use the litter box so it is TERRIBLE to clean up. I haven't come up with other options besides newspaper since I like to clean it up everyday. Once I make this box ill make a complete bedding set so I can cover the whole bottom of the cage.

You definitely need to out something down on that grill. Ferret can suffer permanent damage to their feet from it. Even a sheet of Lino to cover the wire would work.

Do you think this remote litter box will work outside of the cage? Have any of you tried it?

Somehow I doubt it.
