The Modified BC-7

**This is being provided for shelters to review as we are getting rid of these cages as we close down the rescue.  We are moving to be a pet only home.**

A great shelter cage, it is 36" wide, 20" deep and 20" tall.  It is dividable with both a solid or wired divider.

This cage is manufactured by Quality Cages now Quality Cage Crafters.  (It is no longer on their website.)

It has large doors, that is the modification.  This cage is actually sold as a bird breeder cage with small doors.  It does have a small slide gravity door on the end, I used them to connect two cages together.

The trays slide out for cleaning.

This cage can handle rats, adult Syrian hamsters and adult gerbils.  It has been used by other shelters to house guinea pigs and chinchillas.

It has a flat bottom.

They fit on a 42" wide wire shelving.

You can fit 3 cages on a single shelf OR 2 cages and put a smaller cage or storage on the lower shelf.  We've had them set up both ways.

We have 1 white one and 1 black one. The black one has non-powder coated doors as it was a conversion.  They are in excellent shape, no rust. (They will need to be rinsed off as they are dusty from being in the storage unit.)  The image below is of two of the cages before this set was donated to Bonnie L. Hayes Animal Shelter of Washington County, Oregon.
