Just thought I would ask what other people think about the Maxey cages. I understand they're to "uniform" exhibiting and to maintain annonimity but does anyone else think they've become a little.......out dated??
I can't be the only one enormously frustrated at still not being able to show because I still can't get hold of any Maxey cages second hand or new. I can't afford to have them made unless I buy 20+ which will probably take me another year to save up for :?
I could be wrong but I think that Mouse Shows are the only animal shows where you have to use a standard show cage, at guinea pig and rabbit shows pens are provided, at hamster shows you can buy (or make) your own cages but you can also hire them from shows.
This isn't an option with the Maxeys.
Does anyone else think it's possibly time to move into the new century and expand the theme slightly??
I was just thinking if we were able to show in 2-3 types of cages that are more widely available as long as the exhibitor's name isn't written on the top of the cage they would still maintain their annonimity?? As for "uniform" they could all be a set size perhaps??
The NMC are trying to encourage new members into the fancy, wouldn't this help open things up a bit??
