Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a replacement tray/pan for the shelf part of the critter nation cage? I don’t need the entire shelf, just the tray that sits on it. I can’t find it anywhere and I’m pretty desperate now.

Thank you

Welcome to glider Central!

I found this:

I think this is the same one:

It is a replacement for several models. You could take measurements and see.

Thank you. That is for the bottom pan though..which is the large one. I’m looking for the small one that fits on the shelves.

Oh ok, I read it wrong... Sorry.


I looked and looked and could only find a metal replacement. And that's not glider safe.

I would remove the shelf, and make one out of 1/2" PVC pipe, with elbows, some plastic 1/2" mesh, and a bunch of 4" zip ties. It's super easy to put together with the only tool needed is a circular ( handsaw, any type of saw that makes a straight cut).

I didn't have shelves for my cages and made my own. I have a Brsbane and Congo cage.

I can walk you through it.

I just realized you have a DCN cage... It can still be done and you can alter or modify it to fit you/your glider's needs.

Also, if white doesn't appeal to you, you can find furniture grade PVC online. Maybe Home depot still carries it

The 1/2" square mesh is sold as tenax. It's safe. Just be sure it's 1/2" squares, not 1" x 1/2".

Also, it's easy to clean. I wipe mine down with a wet wash cloth. I don't remove them when the cages go outside for power washing either. A lot just drops right through, except large piece of pumpkin seed shell in pic. Lol!
