Ferret Nation & Critter Nation Replacement Pan
Plastic is not chinchilla safe! Unfortunately, the Ferret Nation cage and Critter Nation cage are loaded with it.
As a Small Animal Guardian, it's up to you to prevent your chinchilla or other small animal from getting to that plastic.
Chinchillas and other small animals tend to chew on them and in the worst-case scenario, it can prove to be fatal. It's best to solve the problem now vs spend money and pain later with a veterinary visit.
The original plastic pans should be covered or replaced before introducing your chinchilla or another small animal.
Our replacement pans are 34 1/2" x 22 1/2" steel and fit models 36" x 24" and 36" x 25".
Each tray is 3" deep.
Our metal pans are handmade by us in Austin, Texas from galvanized 26ga steel. With the option of 24ga Stainless Steel and powder-coated colors. The trays are spot welded at their seams.
Which option should you choose?
If this is for high ammonia-producing animals like rats or rabbits. Then definitely go for the powder coating option.
If it's for low-producing like chinchillas or hedgehogs, then galvanized will be just fine.
Galvanized is protected from rust but still does over a long period of time depending on the environment it's in. Typically we see a life of 3-7 years.
Powdercoated enhances that further.
Stainless will last forever :)
Choose the option "with cutout" for the top-level.
Choose the option "without cutout" for the bottom level.

I was very pleased with the replacement pan I ordered. It fit perfectly in my cage, is well made, and does a great job keeping my chinchillas mess contained.

I've owned rats for 10+ years. I cannot express enough how worth it these are. I will be buying more. I needed these 10+ years ago 😂

While the wait for this product was definitely on the longer side (almost a month or so), this is something that was directly mentioned before I ordered it, and I honestly don't think it detracts from the quality of the product. I was sent multiple emails keeping me up to date while I was waiting, which was greatly appreciated. The pan is sturdy, fits perfectly, and had no damage. It gives me peace of mind knowing my rats won't chew through it, as some of them have a habit of doing. Overall wonderful product, and I would definitely recommend. It's more than worth the wait.

These pans are literally the best! I wish I had gotten them sooner. I used them for the critter nation cage for our pack of degus, and I’m never going back to plastic pans ever again. This has significantly improved the smell of their cages, and makes cleaning so much easier. I also love that they are meant to last a lifetime, definitely recommend these!!! Pricey but definitely worth it if you’re planning on having degus/chinchillas/any other type of furry babies forever!

First off I'll say the overall quality of the product is amazing. The products are very expensive though especially when you are buying for a double critter nation. It was stated it could take up to 20 days to ship my order so I made sure I ordered it well in advance to my new ratties. My products were ordered 4/17 and not shipped until 5/16. Though I received updates, nothing was offered rectify the false timing. A simple treat for my girls would have been a nice gesture. I also think .5 inch and inch taller trays should be offered as well (for a reasonable price. That definitely isn't a negative review because I was well aware of the height when I ordered, just a suggestion.
