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.

FAQ
Cage design should minimize environmental stress. Cages that are too small make it difficult for reptiles to exercise; lack of exercise may lead conditions such as constipation and dystocia, especially in snakes. Cages should provide hiding places and branches for reptiles. Consult with GC Vet Clinic to determine the best habitat for your pet.

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.

My cage numbers do not sort properly, why?

AviMate - FAQ
The cage number field is an alpha-numeric field. In other words, you may type a letter or a number for your cage number. When a computer sorts an alpha-numeric field, it starts with the first character, and then the second, and so on. So if you have cage 1 through 20 assigned, your sorting may appear as follows: The first character in cage 10 is a 1 and the first character in cage 2 is a 2, therefore cage 10 comes before cage 2.

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 sized cage will I need?

Fish & Feather
This is hard to answer, as everyone has a budget. Look at the wingspan of the bird in question and try to get a cage that is at least twice the wingspan of the bird. Imagine yourself cooped up in a small area all day, the larger the better for all species. We have over 100 cages on display at all times, so we should have a cage that's suits your requirements, décor and budget, as part of our stock.

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.

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.

How long does my male need to be kept separate from his cage mates?

Suz' Sugar Gliders |
This depends on your glider and your own comfort level. When I have my males neutered, the surgery is generally done between 10 am and 12 pm. I keep a close watch on them throughout the day and if, by 7pm, they have shown no signs of problems, I will return them to their cage. Some I have kept watch on for 24 hours. Really, it depends on the glider and the method used.

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.

Birdcages from Bird and Cage Co
Actually, in our opinion, the larger the cage the better. Birds need their cages to be roomy so they can have plenty of room for toys and activities. Remember too, that many species, particularly those belonging to non-climbing species, need to be able to fly at least a little, to stay properly healthy.

What is a sort?

Larch Frequently Asked Questions
The "sorts" in an LSL trait correspond to the types in a programming language. They are names for sets of values. This usage is historical (it seems to come from [Goguen-Thatcher-Wagner78]), and arises from the desire to avoid the word "type", which is heavily overused. However, it does have some practical benefit, in that in the context of a BISL, one can say that a type comes from a programming language, but a sort comes from LSL. Unlike some other specification languages (e.g.

For day hikes on the Missouri, a good pair of well fitted and broken in hiking boots is recommended, though not mandatory. Stout tennis shoes, with grippy soles will also work. For paddling we recommend a combination of footwear: water shoes or water sandals, and 'mud boots'.
