## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone use this to prevent their ratties from chewing the edges of the fleece liners?**
A: No, it actually wouldn't really work that way.  When I had the scatterguards attached, it was very difficult to secure the fleece liners to begin with (the scatter guards are not easy to take on/off, and are awkward to use with fleece liners).  So you'd have to either not secure the fleece liners at the edges, or put them over the scatter-guard completely.  I ended up taking my scatterguards off completely when I switched to fleece.  They just make it too difficult to clean the cage and maneuver things.I would suggest putting a little bin full of fleece scraps and papers near where they usually chew the fleece liners.  That will give them easier stuff to play in, shred, and put in their favorite nesting spots. :)

**Q: Would the busybody blanket work for a chinchilla?**
A: It would work for them as a blanket. The tunnel pieces are designed for a ferret, so i doubt they would be able to fit.

**Q: Does the scatter guard work to keep bedding in?**
A: Yes, the scatter guard provides and additional 4" above the pan to help keep the bedding inside the cage.

**Q: lower scatter guard - would it work with a litter box attached to the cage. do you think it could be modified in a way that would allow this use?**
A: I’m sure you can make anything to work.. but I have the wear manufacturing scaterless lock and litter pet pen with the wire flooring ( no poop on feet… - My pets are podding trained). 
And I use fleece ($3.99 yd at Joanne) to line my critter nation trays.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accurate measurements
*by M***  on February 25, 2025*

Finally found a cover for my cage. I'm not sure why it's so hard to find ones for bird cages when they're supposed to be covered at night. I don't have the same brand of cage but it has similar measurements. It's a little big which is okay. I have perches and his light on the outside so snug wouldn't work anyway. It looks better than my blanket and sheets over the cage. Easier to get in as well. It also makes moving it a bit easier since I don't have to worry about the wheels getting stuck in it. It's a good value for your money. The cheapest option I could find that would actually cover my whole cage. The build quality is a bit cheap. I have zip ties on my cage and I'm afraid they'll rip it. My green cheek was also immediately interested in the Velcro. The door opening is fine if you can just toss it in top. My light is up there however and I have to put it off to the side.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cover for both single and double ferret nation
*by A***X on January 27, 2025*

This cage cover works for the single unit ferret nation as well, if you're willing to trim it. It's very easy to use a regular pair of scissors to trim the length off so that it fits the single unit ferret nation. I haven't noticed any fraying of the cut fabric after a week, so I highly recommend this cover for both units. It took us about 5 minutes to cut it to length. Very easy to put on, very satisfied.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It will do
*by J***R on April 7, 2025*

I got it to fit in my cage that wasn't made to have this shelf. It will do just fine. I have a 22x32x49 cage and this makes for a great separation a sleeping area, an eating area and a potty area.
