The Beast

Long story short.

I have a DCN (Double Critter Nation) and have been wanting to add to it for some time. I am a member on a forum called Florida Rat Community. There was a member on there who no longer had her rats and was selling her DCN for the price of an add-on. So why buy an add-on when you can have anther DCN right?

So last weekend we arranged to pick up the DCN so I could add to my existing one. I did some cleaning on it and it sat in the dining/living room for a few days in many many pieces. I now have a TCN (Triple Critter Nation). I am absolutely in love.

I had my kids split up into two groups of five. Now they are split into a seven and three. The dynamics and relationship of the two groups are blending rather nicely. I am quite pleased with myself at the moment.

Along with the DCN that I purchased used I also received a full bass pan, one without the cut out. (Bass Pans) I am ordering two more of these. One with the cut out and one without. They are galvanized, so I have contacted a local company that does powder coating and they gave me an estimate for all three pans of $50. That is so worth the time and effort it would take me to spray them with rustoleum paint.

FYI: If you are ever going to purchase bass pans and you are going to coat them yourself. You MUST let the paint cure for at least 2 weeks.

Now one day I do want to either:
1) Make a Quad CN - this is 2 DCN's hooked together side by side (or)
2) Make a side by side TCN

This endeavor won't be accomplished until I have a much larger place to live. And a whole heck of a lot more storage. I swear I need a rat only closet.
