Hi all, I am going to attach some pictures of my AWESOME HUGE cage! lol
Also I am attaching pictures of the play room...it is rather boring at the moment, I am still trying to figure out "what else?!?!?!" And really need ideas for stuff for up high!
If ya guys could help me that would be awesome. Pictures, other sites, anything! Home made things, anything! Also I have added a few things to the room, but not many! (and extra large ball pit, and two others!)
hmmm... it looks amazing! but I am trying to think, and I do agree with Meg about the vines from the ceiling... and weren't we discussing the cargo net made out of fleece? hang toys from it and the girls will be NUTS!
Gizmogirl...that is awesome! Thank you so much! I think that really can help with some new things! But one question...where did you get the cargo netting from? And would you be willing to tell me how you made some of the item's in your room...like if I PM'd you and asked about something???
Yes...this is what I want my room to look like! Oh and what is hanging in the window?? Look's like those bead things that you hand in door way's...am I correct? That would be awesome even if that is not what you did! lol
Oh and I love the sign! Have to make one or something for the door! lol
Gizmogirl...that is awesome! Thank you so much! I think that really can help with some new things!
Thank you, the gliders like it too.
But one question...where did you get the cargo netting from?
I found mine in a hardware store, just passed it and thought wow, this can work. I remember when Aimee asked me about the cargo net she couldn't find it at first, it was sold in completely different stores than over here. She will be able to tell you where to find it in the states.
And would you be willing to tell me how you made some of the item's in your room...like if I PM'd you and asked about something???
Of course I would, PM me your e-mail address and I will mail you the "how to's"
Yes...this is what I want my room to look like! Oh and what is hanging in the window?? Look's like those bead things that you hand in door way's...am I correct? That would be awesome even if that is not what you did! lol
That's it, and they love it.
Oh and I love the sign! Have to make one or something for the door! lol
Are you talking about the shelfs??? The thing's that are on the wall and there are 8 of them??? In different colors!?!?!?
They are awesome!
If that is what you are talking about... let me know on this post and I will post it in the AM...I was trying to do it now...but I am falling asleep! Just check it tomorrow! But I will share with everyone!
I'm seriously not happy with you girls. You have no idea how bad I WANT THIS!!!
Meg's...you have NO idea how special these lil ones are to me! This room..."BG" -before gliders! lol I love my house...I was sure I had plenty of room when we decided it was the one! So this room was to be my art's room...wait what am I saying...it was my art room. I Paint, I make jewelry, I scrap book...but mainly this was my scrap booking room! As you can see it is not a small room...but it is not a huge room either. I had stuff from one side to the other. My art on the wall's everything!
Then...I knew I was ready for the gliders! I got Jada first! And her cage was in the office, then got Sydney had to keep there cages away from each other, well everything checked out with Syd's vet check so Syd's cage went into the office too...there was not enough room in there, and my scrapbooking room, only got used 2-3x a week (if that sometimes to be honest)...soooo...it became the glider room. Everything came off the wall's and was put into boxes!
Now all that is left of my scrap booking room...is in the closet! I have a table in there and everything, I can take it out...set it up and I have shelf's that hold everything.
It is a little on the cramped side, but it is what makes them happy and I could provide something for them...they never had with there past owners, and it is 100x better then the tent!
I have a "bumper" or one of those things you put at the bottom of the door to stop cold air from coming in, and now they get to run everywhere...it is there room! And ya know what...This room now is used 7 day's a week!
that was really odd...I know I was in the correct place...but then when I posted it...it was in breeding and babies!?!?!?
Wow...maybe I am more tired then I was thinking!
Ok so anyway!
you are awesome...ok...no coffee...soooo keep up!!!
I went to the store and got a 4 ft bored, that was about 6 inches wide....cut it into 8 different lengths. Some long...some short! I also got these bags of "L" brackets...here there were 4 per bag, and it was like $2 a bag! But they were no wider then the wood!
Screwed them into the wood, to make shelf's! I then took different colors of fleece and covered each "shelf" with it using a staple gun. Cutting around the brackets. Screwed them into the wall and there we go!
Ok...this is the best I got for ya currently! If you need more info...I can take more specific pictures, and show the brackets and everything!
The girls love them, and it is supper fun to watch them jump from shelf to shelf!
PM me if ya need pictures!!! I would be glad to post them for you!
Awesome cage and room You're on the right track and can't wait to see how it looks when you're finished. OOO I might have to use your shelf idea...is that ok???

Aim...that is awesome! Giz, was saying that you would be able to tell me where to get the cargo netting! Where did ya get it??? It really I feel would be the most simple thing for me to start with and then hang fun things from it/on it!
Awesome cage and room You're on the right track and can't wait to see how it looks when you're finished. OOO I might have to use your shelf idea...is that ok???
I do not mind...I am going to post some pictures on here today so I can show better what all that gibber up top was all about! lol I was so tired...but yeah...they are awesome! And...they are fun!
Giz...your email about the tree...will be to ya soon!
note - hang from top to bottom, otherwise you end up with sawdust all over the lower ones, lol. im hanging mine now! i only have four right now, but theyre still fun!
by "sawdust" i mean "dust from attaching them to the wall" and said dust sticks to fleece well, sigh. ill get some pics for you later
Ohhhhh ok...I just got a little worried...I know many kinds of wood can be toxic to gliders...Hence the fleece! I just wanted to make sure you understood! My bad sorry!
And yeah...I went from top down! Can't wait to see pictures! lol

The green one??? wow...that was fun to make! I was hoping it would keep it's shape...but it realy does not...but the girls LOVE it!
Let me know if that is what you are talking about and I can tell ya how I made it!
I LOVE IT!!!! your gliders are some spoiled suggies!!!! I wish I had an extra room to convert! hummmmm MAYBE I could convince my hubby.....that I could use "his side" of the basement (since it has the window)...?????
I love your cage:) how do you guys make the cages doors where they can open up
Go to just for fuzzies.com or something like that! lol
My cage was inspired by there idea...but it is not at all there design...we created what we wanted! At first the cage that we have now was 2 smaller cages. Because the girls were not together yet. So what we did was made two extra large cages, that we could put together. We were not sure if they ever would "love" each other, so they had to have a large cage incase they did not! Well they did get together, and we made the cage where we could remove the left side from the one and the right side from the other...and that is why it is sooooooo huge! I looked for a long time at cages from other companies and none of them were big enough for "my standards" (I am told that is a complex I should get over! lol) But I figured, because they were rescues they will never have a boy friend...they will never have babies...soooo they needed a lot of room to play!

You have NO idea! I am told...I go a little overboard sometimes!!! lol
yeah the green one...and the small hardware net on the wall???
Ok the green thing!
I took 2 pieces of cargo netting that were long, for the sides...then I took 2 more pieces that were smaller for the top and bottom! 1 more for the back and then one smaller middle "shelf" (so you should have 6 cut pieces of hardware netting) I then cut very long pieces of fleece and "sew" them together! So the back to the two sides...giving you a "u" shape once sewn together. From there sew the top and bottom to the "u" shape and then add the middle shelf!
From there...all you have to do is attach 4 straps of fleece to the top and a ring for hanging and decorate the inside however you wish...I added thin pieces of fleece to the inside of one...made a long braded rope and kind of made it a "maze" for the other, and the last is pieces of fleece with beads hanging! The girls love it!
The "cargo netting one"
I made 12 long braded ropes out of fleece...
tied the first 4 together to make a square...then took the next 4 and tied one end to the top of the square...the other end to the bottom of the square I repeated the process but I also weaved them into the other braids! so now you should have 12 squares~to hang toys in.
I like it on the wall...but as soon as we can find the proper hook's to hang it from the celling...we are going to hang the top half to the celling and the bottom to the wall!
Soooo can't wait! Every day...I am adding things, small large! I just made one of those "soda bottle" toy's for the girls! They like it...but still are not sure about going inside of it! Well that I have ever seen! lol
Thanks sooo much I can't wait to make these for our babies...I haven't finished with the mural in their room but I got all the basic lines down with a sharpie and going to paint it today...we added all kinds of stuff in there last night...you can see the pictures under my post Glider Room Progress
