Hi all! I finally got hold of a camera <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> and thought I'd take a few pics of my new cage setup. I'm not completely finished with it of course, and I'm open to your thoughts on this. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Sorry the pics aren't too good--lol i'm no pro. I still need to get puppy pads or Kaytee shavings for the bottom, along with a cage cover and hmmm.. something else i just can't remember. Boy I've got so many toys that I didn't want to overwhelm my gliders when they get here. So the cage might look a little empty. If you see anything I missed or should fix--please tell me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Here's the first pic of the top part of the cage... (pic attached)
Sorry mods, I didn't know where to put this. Please feel free to toss wherever it should go. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

And here's a pic of the CUTE glider club house Kayla made for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I love it--and i'm sure my little babies will too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> lol I bought so many toys that most of them will have to go in the tent <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Sorry the pics are kinda dark <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Its getting late here.

aw, thank you! I can't wait till they come home--I definitely have enough time to spend with them. I intend to snuggle with them all day long and hopefully they'll become real cuddlers. Of course thats after they have begun to bond with me. I don't want to give them a heart attack, poor sweeties.

Awesome Cage Set Up!...My only input is the placing/location of the water bottles. I have had similar water bottles just a different color, that i placed on the inside of the cage similar to the way u have it. The Gliders Chewed most of the top part of the water bottle off( the plastic container part, not the actually black part) causing the water bottle to leak all the water out. I'd say, its best to place them on the outside of the cage. Sorry if this sounded like a lecture, by no means. Just thought i'd give my experience of what happen to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />

Oh thank you so much! I'm so glad that someone told me--I had no idea! I'll definitely place them on the outside. Thanks SkyBlue--lol you've saved me some trouble. Oh and I don't think you're lecturing at all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I just want to make sure that I can have a great setup that is safe and fun for my little ones. Thank you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Aww, thanks! I got most of my toys from KaylasGliderGoodies--lol I couldn't choose which toys I wanted so I went all out (<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> probably for the first time in my life lol) and bought almost one of everything. lol I got my really nice pouches, wigwam, and hammock from toandfrogliders--I like all of the different fabric choices they have. Everything came in the mail today and I was so thrilled. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Hopefully soon I'll get some toys from callejean's. I love her hot pink swings, perches etc. SO cute! lol sorry to ramble on.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cloud9.gif" alt="" />

I LOVE your cage set up! It looks like they have a lot of toys and neat things to play with! How big is your cage? I want an idea of how I can set mine up, but mine is 5 ft tall, 3 ft wide and 2.5 ft deep.
I'm sure you're babies will absolutey love it!

Oh thank you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> lol and thats not even all of the toys!! My cage is 36" tall (plus its on a stand) x 30 1/2" wide, and 18" deep. I bought it off of ebay from Mastercage--its really nice, powder coated and only cost $93!! I thought that was a good deal, since its such a sturdy well-built cage. Since it came with wooden perches I just tried to angle them like ladders leading down to a waterbottle, so that they could easily reach it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Boy, I love all of the things from Kaylas, but lol there wouldn't be ANY room for the gliders. lol here's a pic with most of the toys in it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

well here's a pic of the entire cage-lol I finally learned how to use a camera <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shakehead.gif" alt="" /> I love my cage! If it gets to small, and yes it does sound small compared to yours Tina <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I'll just upgrade to a bigger cage. Or maybe I could make one myself i.e. "Dad? Could you show me how to make a cage?" lol Ah well. Hmmmm..I like the ones online, you only have to wait for them to be shipped <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> sorry to ramble <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Wow that is a great setup. You have done a very good job. I remember having my cage ready watching it empty and anticipating their arrival. It has been 5 weeks and I'm loving them sooooo much. Have fun. They sure will. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />

Well, I'd like to name them after something spicy--a couple I like are Paprika, Ginger and Coriander. But hm, I'm not sure....I can't come up with any really unique ones. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" /> lol guess I'm not too creative. I can't wait to see pics of my little sweeties!! The breeder already has them bra-trained! I'm so happy that I found them, Brandy has spent a lot of time with them. I can't wait to snuggle with them!! And boy oh boy, they are going to be spoiled! lol I have a HUGE tent for when we are more bonded, and I went out and bought several feathered boas. lol I hope they like them! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cloud9.gif" alt="" /> I also just had to get all of Kaylas toys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Soooooo excited!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
