Anyone Have/Had These Size Cages

Im looking at a few stackable breeding cages.
One is a 38 x 11 x 15
the other is
30 x 18 x 18
In your opinion which do you think is better?
I like the 38 because of the length. But 11 width is pretty narrow is it not? Or is this a good cage?

I personally wouldn't breed in anything smaller than 30 X 18 X 18

I agree 30X18X18 is the lowest I would go

I have a stand for three 30x18x18 stacked and the size works good for me..

11" way too narrow. Between these two, I'd go for the 30x18.

rather spend money on narrow cages, which you will not be happy with, I am sure, you are better of investing in the biggest cage/s you can afford. I have been down this road before, buying small narrow cages which the birds will never thrive in. I threw them out after a very short time.

Yea I agree that the 11 was way to narrow...I dont even know why a cage was made this way...long yes, but the width... isnt worth it.
I already have the flight I built which is about 4 x 3.
I dont want to save for a larger cage because of lack of space. I was interested in the stacking breeding cages because 1. I have very limited space in my home. 2. I dont want to house all of my finches together. Because some can get aggressive.
30 x 18 x 18 is all I can find so far, for a stacking cage...within Canada. I really dont want to pay for a cage from another country..its becoming difficult.
And your right Kenny, I dont want to end up regreting the purchase and try to find something again. Its tough

Hi Pretty Bird
30X18X18 is an ok size for stacked cages- I was more referring to the 11' which must be for a very skinny bird!!! good luck with your breeding
