I have the vision plastic nesting box and it would not fit the outside of my cage without making cage modifications which I do not want to do. I placed this box inside the cage for about 2 months and there was very little interest at all. Kobe poked his head inside a few times but never went inside. I think he may not have understood how to get back out as it was quite a drop. This box is not going to work. There is a door on either side of the cage up high for a nesting box. My questions are: 1. How does the average nesting box get attached? 2. Which type should I get? 3. Should the door be removed to attach a box? (see photos of door) 4. Do I put some kind of steps or landing inside the box so its not such a steep drop to get inside or back out?
This is what the nesting box looks like in the pet stores: I see no way to attach it to the outside of the cage.
This is what the opening in the cage looks like: closed door
