That's a good idea to email Petco to complain.
I've currently got 6 of those white Petco cages.
I'm so bummed because I had 9 but I sold 3 (new in box) to a friend about 2 weeks ago. She offered me $50/each and I'd only paid $36 so it seemed like a good idea.
Now I regret it!!!
I went to get 3 more and that's when I discovered they're no longer available.
I need to figure out something SOON because I've got 2 babies in one nest. There's 4 egg babies with 2 zeb youngsters in another cage that's 26x16x16 I think? (though despite being cramped conditions, they seem totally happy. Plus they get free fly. But the foster mom Sylvia is on 4 zebra eggs, so they need to get out of there soon - within a week.)
And on top of that, I've got 6 gouldians in 2 interconnected cages, but the parents won't breed with all those kids running around. (And they're too wiley for just one 30x18x18 cage, so I'd need at least 1 new one for them.)
So in short, I need at least 3 new cages. (The exact number that I gave away! Gah! No good deed goes unpunished)
I even looked at Petco and Petsmart. Their cheapest cage was around $60. It was a little bigger than the 30x18x18 (taller), but it was one of those with a top that looked like a roof, so you couldn't stack them. So that won't work.
I think the Country Feathers link from
Sally looks pretty good. I'll go for them, I think. How's their shipping? Is it insanely expensive? So hard to find someone with good prices AND good shipping!
@wildbird I'll definitely call and investigate with LinEnterprises!
@Derk's link to Alibaba looks good too, except I know Alibaba is more for shops. I've found some good deals on there, but they wanted me to buy like 75 cages! (And wouldn't ship a smaller amount even for a higher price.) Are there some suppliers/manufacturers on there who will ship just a few?
