There are 44 breeding cages in all with room for more if needed.
Each breeding cage has stainless steel removable trays to aid cleaning and a wooden platform to enable the young to hide away if the need arises.
Typically a box within a box style wooden nest boxes are used which hang on the outside of the cage allowing ease of access and does not take up room within the breeding cage itself.
