ss cage,worth the money?

[hacatta]

After the last cage disaster,i think i am going to save up for a ss cage.
But i need to know is it worth the money?their is only one manufacturer here that i can find,all custom made too.
How long do they last?
So they can price it whatever they want.

I'd say if you invest in a good quality SS cage, it 'should' last a lifetime.

I would say so, given how often you can expect to replace powder coated cages. Unfortunately, the site you linked to is in a language I don't speak, but I say if you can afford it, go for it! My mom's stainless cages have lasted over 40 years with nothing but a few scratches and dings from decades of use. If we could afford one, we'd get one, but here in the US we were quoted $4000USD for a custom stainless cage Apparently, the mass-produced ones are typically plagued with issues like sharp edges and welds that are not super secure.

the price will about be the same ,and i need 2 cages.
Thankfully i live with my parents yet and with some real heavy money pinching i would be able to raise that money within a year.
The site is in english,just not the link.

Just got to hear the price for 1 cage ...5000 euro!!!!!!!!!!!
that would be 10.000 for 2,i don't have that kind off money.
And so the quest for new cages continues.

Yup. Those stainless cages are EXPENSIVE. I was floored when I got a quote on a custom cage SMALLER than the mass produced one I was initially looking at. My mom almost choked when I told her how much a stainless cage cost. She said when she bought hers, she remembered them only being slightly more expensive than whatever materials they used to make 'regular' cages back in the 1970s when she got all her birds... Hers are stamped "made in the USA" right on the front too, so they weren't mass produced in some overseas sweatshop either. And she wondered why she hadn't seen any stainless cages in stores for years and years

I had expected it to be high ,but not that high,i though around 3000 a cage.
Such a same we don't have featherland here.
