Review: Upper scatter gaurd fits ferret nation 183 - the top scatter guard works amazing for ferret nation 183 this one was super easy to install and was easy to put on the tray(btw) it's easier to install the panels with the tray outside the cage .. I think I read something that someone was trying to do it while the pan was in the cage.. I'm pleased with the fit. When putting together they're a tab you bend it to help secure it. The bottom scatter gaurd I had a slight issue with the first one Item side gaurds are too big by a half inch to 1/4 inch on the sides can't install it to my pan for my ferret nation 181. some of the pieces were slightly damaged but the boxes are not. Was returned before Im thinking? for the same issue because of the damage on the part that snap together. I ordered another one it was slightly better but still a little too big on the side, it doesn't fit in the pan on one side and sits up causing a gap. Maybe I'll order another and see if I have the same issue for the bottom scatter gaurd. If so I'll probably modify it to fit correctly.
Review: Shelf - Sturdy, exactly like original. My chin was a rescue and came with his cage. He had chewed through corner of his shelf. I had to leave it bc I couldn’t afford a new shelf. He kept chewing it so I put a pillowcase over it. After buying the new shelf, he doesn’t chew and I got rid of the pillow case! Love the new one!

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accurate measurements
*by M***E 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.
