Double flight cage with metal trays?

Post by LauraBird » Fri Aug 24, 2012 8:46 pm

See? I just started today and this is my third thread! After this I will work on getting a picture up!

So I'm thinking about getting a double flight cage (about 60" wide rather than 30"). The only ones I have seen so far online have plastic pull out trays for cleaning. Does anyone know a brand or model of double flight cage that has metal trays? That doesn't require me to take out a 2nd mortgage? :)
Thanks! Laura

Hi, LauraBird, and welcome to the forum! There is lots of good reading at the Finch Information Center, linked at left. And if you put your location in your profile, it makes it easier to answer locale-specific questions.

@finchandlovebird, where did you find a double flight with metal trays? I have the HQ double flight, but it has plastic trays, and I'd much rather have metal any day.

Well, I'll disagree, unless there is something about having metal trays I'm missing. I had a metal tray before and it rusted, so I had to throw it away and could not use the cage anymore. I prefer the plastic trays for easy cleaning. I have three A&E double flight cages and I love them!! The price is good too, about 260, depending on the vendor. I think my last one was purchased at cages <$500. I"ll double check if your interested.

O.K. Here is the price I found on the A&E double flight. I love them, but if you don't use the divider, you need to use the plastic hardware ties to secure the two sides. I do that and it works great!

Sally I bought it on Craig's List, brand new. The people had bought it as a Sugar Glider Cage, 61" lg x 18" dp x 56" h w/stand on wheels. I think the brand name might be "Black Vein". Has the divider between the two 30" flights.
