What size cage will I need?

FAQ
This may vary depending on your daily routine. The more time your baby spends in the cage the more room she will need. Remember, most States will have the USDA or State regulatory Department that may determine minimum cage size. Please check for permit requirements and all other paperwork needed, because this will vary form State to State. We recommend a small cage while you are weaning your baby.

Q.What size cage do I need to get for my bird?

Pet Bird CagesFAQ
Get the largest you can possibly afford. This is where the bird will spend a great deal of it's time. A good rule of thumb is that the bird should be able to stretch out its wings fully in at least one direction. Note that "outstretched wing length" refers to the span of the *unclipped* wings.

What size cage does my African Grey need and what do I put inside it?

FAQ ~ It's A Grey's World
Parrots should be housed separately to avoid problems with cage mates. If you work full time and your Grey is spending the majority of his day inside the cage he will need a larger cage. If your Grey will only be sleeping in his cage and spending his days on his playstand, the cage does not have to be as large. Perches should be the size of your bird's talon. Usually about .75" to 1" in diameter. You should have a variety of perch types inside the cage.

What size system do I need?

Frequently Asked Questions - Drying & Dehydration | Nyle...
The first step is to determine how much lumber you’ll dry in a year. Then figure your average drying time for each of the species you’ll be drying, and you can calculate the size kiln you need from there. For example: you need to dry 500,000 board feet of oak per year. Fresh off the saw, oak takes about 28-30 days to dry, so you’ll be able to do 12 loads in a year. Each load will need to be 42,000 board feet to give you the 500,000 board feet you need for the year.

What size cage is appropriate for my J?

Jardine FAQ Unformatted file
It seems like it is big, but trust me, the smallest size cage you want for a Lesser Jardine is 24"x24"x24". My Jardine Shaka's cage is 24x24x40 and he uses every inch! when he was younger (9-13 weeks) I had the grate moved halfway up the cage and secured so he could only use the bottom 20 inches. He was to clumsy to be climbing all the way to the top when he was that little.

Subject: <5.2> Do I need a cage? How should I set it up?

Hedgehog FAQ, Part 3
This is largely a matter of choice, yours and theirs. Some hedgehog owners wouldn't dream of caging their prickly little friends, while some breeders use large cat carriers to keep their hoards in (one hedgehog, one carrier). I personally use large wire cages that were intended for medium to large dogs as homes for my hedgehogs. These cages measure about 2' wide x 3' deep x 2.

What sort of cage do I need?

Cheeky Chinchillas - Frequently Asked Questions
Make sure that the cage is big enough. One chinchilla can be kept in a cage approximately 90cm high x 61cm wide x 46cm deep. Cages should remain indoors unless kept in a purpose built, secure outer building. He/she should also have a run outside of the cage for approximately one hour each day. Chinchillas do not like a lot of noise so the cage should be placed in a quiet environment that is well ventilated but not draughty.

Do I really need to cover the cage?

Pet Bird CagesFAQ
Depends on the bird. Birds, like people, need undisturbed sleep. If the bird is in a room you can darken, then no, you don't need a cover. Sometimes, the bird may be scared of the covered cage. Other times, birds may refuse to go to sleep if the cage isn't covered, and will holler for it. If you turn down the heat in your house at night, covering the cage is really a good idea. You can get custom covers made to fit any size or shape or use a sheet or a blanket.

What kind of cage do I need for my hedgehog?

The Hedgehog Welfare Society - FAQ Sheet
Although hedgehogs are small animals, they do require quite a bit of exercise and, therefore, need a fairly large cage. The absolute minimum size would be 30x24, but the larger the better. The cage also should be at least 15 inches tall to accommodate a wheel. Large sterilite containers can be used. Some of the best cages we've found are at www.qualitycage.com/collaps.html. The C-O model with the solid floor is very nice. We would suggest the 30x30x16 or 24x30x16 size.

Can I keep it in a cage?

The Raven's Aviary - Close Encounters of the Corvid Kind
The metal bars of a cage can seriously damage a bird's feathers as it grows older, and needs to stretch out its wings. If the wingfeathers keep breaking off against the bars, the bird may not learn to fly properly, or not have the plumage to fly effectively. Besides, wild birds don't belong behind bars. If you have to have a cage, make it a large one - several feet wide and more than 3 feet tall, so the bird has room to move and exercise as it grows.

What size tank do I need?

Frequently Asked Cichlid Questions
The general rule of thumb in aquarium keeping is to have no more that one inch of fish per gallon of water. Thus, if you had a twenty gallon tank (with no substrate or rocks to diminish the total water volume), you could have five 4-inch fish. This formula also assumes you will change 25% of the tank volume each week. See What is a water change? Why is it important? for more details. Realistically, however, you will need to consider the following factors when choosing what size tank to purchase:

How do I determine the size bike I need?

Frequently Asked Questions | Gary Fisher Mountain Bikes
Our best suggestion in your situation would be to visit a local dealer and have them fit you on the bike. Taking a test ride on a few different sizes would also be helpful. It is too difficult for us to make an accurate recommendation as to what the best size bike for someone would be without actually seeing them on the bike. A person's height is usually a fairly good place to start when determining correct size, however each person's physical dimensions (arm length, torso length, etc.

Do we need to buy a metal cage for crate training? If so, how large? And what is crate training?

Frequently Asked Questions about Beagles
I do like crate training for the times that nobody is in the house during the workday/school day. Some people only do this during potty training, and others use the crate as the puppy's home while the family is away. This page has some very good articles about it. Dogs don't like to potty in their "bedroom" areas, so most will try to hold it if they can until you get home. Initially, it might be hard for a puppy to go that long.
