Do you guys have any advice on removing the cage (barred section) pls?! She can barely turn around in the tube but she uses it for her food hoard and where we covered it with the blackout fabric (for when us mere hoomans require electric lighting), she's taken to using the (now covered) ledge as a nest...I'm trying to keep the disruption to minimum for her, but I dread that she'll end up stuck in the tube and I might not hear her?!?!Hi! Sorry for the quiet...I ended up improvising a lid (large sheet of thin plywood with all her gubbins placed around the edges)...I had checked, checked and checked again, the first night she was OK but last night I woke up to her rustling around (as I'm becoming accustomed too) and the cheeky minx accurately launched herself over a foot, to make an escape on to the top of the blanket box! Caught her up had some cuddles and a very gentle "No, Ms Rainy Ramboham; just because you can do it doesn't mean you should - furthermore- according to the general t'internet....YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THAT FAR, LET ALONE JUMP IT!" Put her back and...I'm sure no one here will be surprised to read - she immediately did it again! God love her!

Ooh that looks like a fancier version?!?PCL have you seen this one?! It looks the same as the one you have, but has an actual cage lid - no diy needed! I know you've already bought it - but .............. Could be an easy solution. Rainbow Bright linked it on the playpen thread originally.

Can you just remove the tube? Yes they can get stuck in tubes and they do tend to hoard, nest and pee in them, so cages without tubes are better. Usually you can just remove the tube (but depends if the cage came with any tube blockers to block the holes?). I wouldn't disturb her nest right now though, if it's on the shelf. She will get very disorientated if she can't settle in and build a nest from the start.Do you guys have any advice on removing the cage (barred section) pls?!
