Plastic Cages
Gerbils are chewing on plastic tubes connecting cages. Help!?
My two young female gerbils are chewing on the CritterTrail plastic tubes I have connected to the cages. They have tons of chew toys, food, and space. I’ve placed two toilet paper holders in their large nest area. It’s helped a little, but they still chew on the plastic tubes. Which is VERY noisy, and I don’t think chewing on plastic is good for them compared to natural wood.
Reply to Doctor Luck: What? That doesn’t help me at all, try spell check also <.<
No matter what you do, I’m afraid they’re not going to quit chewing until they’re bored with it.
I went through the same deal.
What I suggest is take them out and place them in a pin of sorts and place different objects (that you don’t mind being chewed on) in the pin with them.
Try to get them to find something they like more than that.
If not then hell, you tried.
It won’t hurt them eating the plastic dear so don’t worry about that. They don’t always eat natural wood anyway they prefer, well, whatever they can get their paws on 
Good day and good luck

Information Dog Cages
Dog cages are becoming a more and more popular staple in the homes of dog owners, mainly because they are helpful with training. Dog cages are also known as crates, mainly because a lot of people are more content with calling the cage a crate because cages are usually associated with jail and cruelty. There is really no difference between a crate and cage; the only time that a do cage should have a negative effect is if it is involved with a puppy mill or other cruel acts directed towards dogs.
Running around the world currently, there are two main types of dogs, wild dogs and domestic dogs. Domestic dogs are dogs that are not wild and are kept usually within a home or family as a pet, while a wild dog runs about freely and has no “owner” or “master.” Wild dogs will also build dens in the wild where they can eat and sleep; regardless of whether a dog is wild or domestic, all dogs have the instinct to have their own dens. Since all dogs usually have that instinct, that is the main reason why domestic dogs will usually take kindly to a dog cage because he or she will associate the cage with a den.
Some people have trouble with their dog taking up all the space on the bed and would prefer that the dog sleep somewhere else. Other people would just prefer that the dog remain in the cage while they go out and run a few errands or whatnot. Puppy owners know this all too well because usually puppies will go through a chewing phase where they have to chew on absolutely everything that they cone across; some older dogs do this as well. This is where a dog cage would come in handy, because if you can train the dog to stay in the cage while you go out, then you do not have to worry about the sanctity of your personal belongings. However, when picking out a dog cage, take your dog’s chewing habits into mind because some dogs can easily damage or chew through certain cage materials.
Dog cages can be made of quite a few different materials, the most common being wood, fabric, plastic and metal or wire cages. Picking the right material can be based on a number of different factors. If you travel a lot and like to take your dog with you, then a wire or metal cage may not be the best option because they are usually bulky and heavy. However, there are some wire and metal cages that can be folded down into a more portable size. As mentioned above, your dog’s chewing habits, if any, need to be take into consideration. A fabric or plastic cage can generally be chewed through, while a wooden one can be damaged by chewing. A metal or wire cage sounds like the best cage at this point, but they can also prove detrimental on your dog’s teeth if chewed on. So you need to figure out how bad your dog’s chewing is and make a informed decision based on that.
Dog cages can prove to be a wonderful decision if used properly. Your dog could end up completely loving the cage because he or she looks at it as his or her own room. If your dog chews on everything or hogs all of the space on the bed, then a cage could help fix that problem. Dog cages can be good for a lot of different things pertaining to Your Pet, all you have to do is buy one and find out.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
