New cage as Hagen doesn’t make the accessories any more.

[rozenda]

I’m really just putting feelers out and haven’t made a decision yet as the feeding/water dishes are still ok.
i would prefer something with horizontal bars rather than vertical and be able to see the bottom of the cage as you can with the Hagen, the boys are used to using the food/water dishes at the base of the cage but obviously would deal with having them elsewhere.
i would also like double dishes as with the Hagen as they like to feed and drink together.
I haven’t got the room for one on wheels and it would need to be as easy to clean as the Hagen as I have back problems.
Double entry doors would be good too.

just realised I am describing the Hagen ! And also that I don’t want much fr9m a new cage do I ?!
the cage I have is fine so it’s more of an upgrade I am thinking about and it won’t be for a while if I decide to get a new cage….i think I have talked myself into sticking with the one I have but I would like to hear about alternatives to the Hagen.

Right I think I have confused you all enough.
As you probably realise I’m not on the forum every day so apologies if I don’t reply quickly.
Enjoy your day everyone, you are a great community !

Do you mean the Hagen visions?

I didn't realise that they no longer make accessories for them. I have two Hagen Visions.

Yes it’s those ones.
I emailed the, as I couldn’t find any replacement food dishes on line and apparently they don’t make them any more, when I asked what else I could use (I was grumpy by then) I was told that normal feed dishes would fit to the side of the cage which they do but that’s not the point 🙂

I don't use the dishes given with the visions as I don't like the dishes being on the floor of the cage. So I just take them out. I appreciate that you like them though

I do but realise that it does restrict where you can put things, in fact that is the only thing I don’t like about the Hagen. Having the middle part of the roof in plastics does restrict where I put hanging toys.
Have you have the same problem ? I never seem to get the cage set up right and find I put less in there but then the bars are there for a reason and, of course, the are capable of playing and chewing things when the are on the cage bars.

I don't hang toys from the roof of the cage, there is a playground and seed pots on top of the cage, so that would not work anyway.

My cages are really just for sleeping and eating in. The budgies that can fly are out all day long, flying about and getting into mischief

[rozenda]

The boys do like to be out of the cage but sometimes they won’t come out for a few days.
I want to set up a budgie playground for them and do have one but to be honest it is lack of space that stops me. They still aren’t used to the raft I got from the Natural bird (Karen and Darren) it seems that they take a long time to like something but then maybe they just don’t like certain things I think they would !
And people think cats are independent souls…
