Overview
of Cage Features
Strength & Durability
During
the process of designing our enclosures, we took elaborate
steps to make sure our cages are strong enough to withstand
substantial forces. This may be from a human outside the
cage or a large aggressive animal inside the cage.
Our
cages consist of very thick aluminum that is hardened and
anodized to resist denting and scratching. We also designed
all of the front, back, and side panels out of the best
materials. Our acrylic is 5x stronger than glass and crystal
clear. The stainless steel panels we use are very decorative
and are washable as well as scratch and odor resistant.
Also see the "Overview
of Cage Materials" section for details.
There
is not a single part in our cage system we have not revised
and re-engineered to perfection, some parts 5 or more times!
We will stop at nothing to create the ultimate enclosure
system.
Easy Assembly
All
of our enclosures require assembly once you recieve the
cage, and the vast majority of our customers tell us it
is not difficult. The only tool required is a #1 phillips
head screw driver. For some larger units we recommend 2
or more people for assembly to help manage the large frame
or panel members. A moderate skill level is required for
assembly. If you find assembly challenging in general, you
may want to ask a friend who is more mechanically inclinded
for help. We also have live support available during business
hours to help you through any problems you may have.
We
have learned through our own experience, as well as through
our customers, how difficult it can be to get enclosures
as large as ours into your home and put together. This is
why all of our enclosures break down for easy transportation
and mobility. This also allows us to use much less
expensive shippingmethods than other companies,
meaning the money you are spending is going towards better
cage materials, not packaging and shipping charges that
come companies cleverly hide by including in the price of
the cage.
Any
of our enclosures (even the large ones) break down to fit
in boxes small enough to go up a set of stairs, around narrow
hallway corners, and fit in the back seat of a pickup truck
or reasonably sized car. When you are moving your enclosure,
there is no need to buy a new one. Our enclosures can all
be taken apart and reassembled many times. This is a feature
very few other enclosures offer and can save you the cost
of purchasing an entirely new cage down the road. Because
of the way our system is designed, in a rare circumstance
if a panel were to be damaged it could easily be replaced
without having to replace the entire cage.
Expandability
One
of the most frustrating aspects of setting up an enclosure
is determining how large an enclosure you need. When you
are shopping for the enclosure, it may be a juvenile that
is only several inches long and has the potential to grow
several feet - and they grow quick! This is particularly
true with reptiles. Many people are not comfortable investing
the amount of money it takes to care for an adult when the
animal is only a juvenile, so they end up buying several
enclosures throughout the life of the animal, each time
throwing one to the curb. With our enclosures you can purchase
the size that is appropriate now, and add on later! Another
advantage to this is if your collection grows or changes,
you can modify the size without wasting your original purchase.
This is a very useful feature for zoo's, museums, or pet
stores where you may have different types of animals come
and go on a regular basis. We have sizes as large as your
imagination! A system like ours is not available anywhere
else!
Security
Security
was a top priority when designing our cage system. Our frame
design and locking system address this issue thoroughly.
The lock is keyed and is placed outside the doors, meaning
your pet does not have access to the locking mechanism (intelligent
birds will not have a way to finesse the lock open). This
also comes in handy for public applications like pet stores,
zoos, or museums where keeping people out is as important
as keeping animals in.
Selection
Our
cage line has the best selection of any system available.
We have 6 Designer colors. We also have nearly the largest
range of stock sizes possible.
