Hi there - I am also a proud owner of a Safeguard cage.  I also got the
information from Pam Grant.  The vendor was great when I ordered a THREE
level custom cage.  It was about 20 bucks less than a competorss 2-level
cage!  I have had the cage over a year.  I have carpet samples on two
levels.  I got the samples from a second hand goods shop.  I have two
samples each (total of 4) on the two upper levels.
 
On the lower level where the potty and food are, I put tile squares.  I
figured the 12 inch would not fit in the door, so I got 4 inch squares.  I
just laid them on the wire.  I got a part of a box from a local tile dealer
for a "reasonable price" (FREE).  They clean up with plain ol' h20 (water).
 
I have a hammock on the top level and a "sleeping bag" or hanging tunnel
(depending on the season) on the second level .  I keep towel on the top
level, but it migrates between levels.
 
I color coordinte the carpet samples with the "beds" <G>.  This is fun!
Once a week, I vaccume the carpets and wash the "beds".  The fuzzy buts get
a bath about ones every two or three weeks.
 
I have two 5 year old girls that reside in the cage.  I think the cage
would hold more!  However, my other half says NO to more fuzzys.
 
By the way, the sleeping bag for winter is also a place for a cat!  I left
the second level door open, and the cat took over the bag.  When I let the
fuzzies back in, they promptly evicted the intruder!  Ever see a cat hit her
head on the top of a cage and try to scramble up a ramp?  it was a riot.
The cat weighs about 10lb, so she did NOT fit up the ramp.  She finally fell
out of the door into the water bowl.  Should have made a movie of that one!
The cat still sleeps on the bag when she gets a chance, but she keeps a
watch out for the residents!
 
Anyways, peace to all of you.
