>The cage looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a while and it was dirty >and falling apart. Just a suggestion. When anyone picks up any animals in this situation, ask if you can have the cage, toys, bedding also. You may just go around the corner and throw them into a dumpster. My theory is that if someone has a cage (regardless of the condition), it makes it that much easier to buy the next animal who will be neglected. If they have to buy a new cage, they may think twice. If it turns out to be a nice cage and you don't need it, you can donate it to an animal shelter or wildlife rehabilitator. Katharine [Posted in FML issue 3542]
