my new wheel doesn't fit in the cage:(


just bought a 12" comfort wheel and one i can't get the stand off to hook it two the cage, can't find a place it will fit, doesn't fit through the door (though the metal comes off the tray. Would my degus be ok if i took out all of the levels (two besides the bottom) and put the wheel in? they normally climb the sides anyways. I haven't had the time or creativity to build my own cage. They had a smaller hamster wheel in their cage but they are finally getting too big for it. the only other kinda shelfs are a wooden bridge thing i made into a shelf and their hammock which they will be too big for both of them to fit in soon (i think its made to fit a cockateil) any suggestions on possible things to put in their cage (oh and they have a bird ladder they like to climb up and some ropes they really dont use) I wish there was more stuff i could use in their cage that isnt bad for them.

my lads love their diggy box after their wheel, just a cardboard box filled with hay, shredded newspaper, some food and treats mixed in, they sped hours playing in it, all you can hear is rusteling then one of them will jump out with a piece of food. branches are great fun too, they climb up and down all day, great fun to watch.if you can get your hands on big tubes form carpet shops or cork bark tubes from your local pet shop, they love running through them, and you can hang them up to make more levels, its all about expermenting, metal tins are prob the best for sand baths too...90% of the things you put in will be distroyed eventuallt but its all about the safety and fun your goos have while distroying them.
