Cage Decision?

[Haru]

Help! I have been wanting to get a new larger cage for my GCC. He is just over a year and a half and I have had him since he was 4 months old

I have looked at several different cages and now I am down to these. Any suggestions on which you personally think would be the best for him?

The first is a large corner cage with actual cage space dimensions of 36 x 24 x 45. link

The 2nd is a wrought iron playtop with actual cage space dimensions of 24 x 22 x 31. link

The 3rd is dome top wrought iron with actual cage space dimensions of 24 x 22 x 38.5. link

And the 4th is powder coated flat top with actual cage space dimensions of 31 x 21 x 35. link

I am currently leaning towards the dome top because I like that it is off the ground(I have other pets that like to wander around and sniff the cage), has a seed guard, and well... I like dome tops, hehe. Is a seed guard really necessary...? I know they help to keep things clean, but do they really make much of a difference?

What would be the mininum dimensions of a cage if I were to have two GCC?

Thank you SO MUCH.

I like the first three... If you put the cage in a corner space.. the first one would be neat.... but I'm a firm believer in bigger is better, so I would look at space provided too.

Ohh! One more. Thank you.

I like that one too! And I like that it has a metal tray...

Thank you =]

I am a little worried about bar spacing. I'm guessing the biggest I should go with a GCC is 3/4"?

I personally don't like really tall cages with alot of height room and especially the ones that go to the floor - with that being said I would go with 3 or 4, but thats me. As for bar spacing I wouldn't go any larger then 5/8 for a GCC - they are small and have little heads and are very good at squeezing through things and I personally think 3/4 would be a little to big. I always keep my bar spacing no larger then 5/8 for the smaller species.

[Haru]

Hmm. Well, because of bar size, most of those are out of the question.

How about this one?

It is a wrought dome top with 5/8" spacing
Total space of 28" x 20" x 60"
and usable space of 28 x 20 x 38

I have one similar to the 4th one.........in black... Our conure loves it........the flat top makes it easy to put a playgym on the top and let him have easy access to outside of cage. We take him out in the morning and he plays, and goes back when he wants.

Thank you everyone =]

I think I am going to go with cage 4 or a cage very similar to it.

I have three of the 4th one - its very versital and perfect for a green cheek - try to find the one with two doors on the front if you can, its a hair bigger and easier to work with. Oh and remember with the corner one you looked at (in case you look again) You can put any cage in a corner but you cant put a corner cage anywhere.
