I am reorganizing my basement and trying to figure out the best way to arrange my breeding cages. I am trying to figure out the best way to put them on a stand. Also how to do the lighting. I will probably build a stand for them.
Does anyone have pictures of their set up that works well?

Re: Breeding Cage Setups?
This is half my setup.
I added a 4th cage on top of the 3 cages.
Next to that I have a stack of 5, 24x16x16 cages.
I do NOT recommend doing a stack of 5, the top cage is difficult to take care of. It is above my head and I have to use a ladder to almost anything with that cage.
All my cages are cable tied together to prevent them from slipping and falling over.
Only the top cage can be lighted from the top, all the other cages have to be lit from the side. And for some cages I have to use a small reflector as the large reflector will not fit next to the outside hanging nest box.

Re: Breeding Cage Setups?
Are you trying to figure out a stand for the ones you bought at the last fair? I can send you a picture of the one I have with the inserts to allow for the lights?
I think the pictures are on my ChirpShire thread in housing... going to look now ;)
I had my husband take all my other breeder cages and install them on the wall...

Misty-
It's actually for my other (cheaper) cages. But that looks great and I am glad you posted it. Lighting is always an issue for me. I will try and do this for my cages like you have. What did you use on the sides and back? Is that fabric?
