I have seen a cage on gumtree, could you have a look and see what you think please? I have never had one of these cages so not sure if the condition is fair or not? Does is look ok? Its the one with the grey base and plastic top....
Trying to sort it all out now so i would be grateful for quick responses.
xx
 
Looks like an 80 to me which is pretty small. Who were you planning to use it for?
 
Only as a transport cage not a permanent, sorry i was in such haste to post this lol. It will be used to transport 4 piggies so should be big enough? xx
 
I'm not worried about the size so much as the condition of it, i know it will be big enough for what i want. x
 
It's quite hard to tell from the pic, but I can't see an major problems with condition, you'd be amazed what a good clean will do. Are you able to have a look at it before you buy it? I think that would be the only way to really tell.
 
Sadly not, luckily my colleage lives 2 mins away so is going to collect it for me, but its nealry an hour away from me. She is has said its in good condition with no cracks.....
 
The only thing thats gets in the way of any cage being re-used is cracks.
Stains etc. are all easy to clean so i'd say go for it !
 
That is an old zoozone 2 cage. They only come in navy blue now. It is 100 x 50 cm on the floor ;-)

the cage beside it is a ferplast cricettie hamsters cage of 80x50cm and the cage on top looks like a savic ruffy 2 type cage and again 80 x 50 :-P This is how I konw the zoozone is larger than that :-)
 
Jesus is it really that big? Are you sure? I asked her if it was the 77cm one and she said yes...?
 
its the wrong shape to be a zoozone 1 which is 72 x 46cm. Its got the right clips and stuff to be a zoozone 2 though, the savic rody rabbit/cavia which are the only other tanks on the market dont look like that shape.

The cage on the top of the stack looks like this

and the one next to the zoozone looks like this

and the bottom cage looks to be a 120cm cage to me. the chinchilla cage looks like this one too http://www.petsathome.com/shop/chinchilla-and-degu-cage-by-thickets-house-15966 which is 92cm wide and the tank above is wider than that at its widest point.

Obviously I could be wrong.

If you google zoozone2 you get pictures of that same grey and yellow cage in that shape with the 2 large yellow hinges/clips. http://furets.free.fr/images/zoozone.jpg
The zz1 in that colour has 4 small hinges http://cdn.uploads-preloved.com/uploads/userphotos/12/0603/5382247-830m.jpg and completely different top lid mesh pattern and shape.

Well you were right Bekki, it is 100cm x 50cm x 45cm! God why do i have to be so kind and ot want to put people out when i ask for measurements? Its way too big for what we want. Will be re-selling it!
 
Would you post it? Hermes will probably ship it for less than a tenner and in return I ship you a zz1?
 
What size is a Zoo zone 1? I currently use a cage just over 60cm long for travelling and am looking for something about 70 - 80cm max?

Ok, would you be a star and measure and double check? It is a possibility, though a few things are putting me off, 1) i dont have a box big enough to put it in for transport 2) i have already spent £10 on a cage that is no good and now have to spend more to send it off - ha ha.
 
I got it wrong by 4cm :-P

its only 32.5cm tall the other measurements were spot on

I sent a zz1 to helen on here by covering it in loads of bubble wrap and putting massive bubble wrap sausages over all the sticky outy bits and then put a bin bag over it :-)
