The wood not only adds to the attractiveness of the cage, it adds
stability and gives a secure surface for the wodent wheel to hang. The
wood was treated with a baby safe/ glider safe coating, therefore the
urine will not soak in the wood it can be wiped down And if the need
should arise it can later be re-sprayed. I believe I stated that it was
easy to clean/ no need to drag it into the shower and the wire IS vinyl
coated. Betsy has had gliders for 3 years. All of her cages have wood.
They are too BIG to put in a shower. And it is not necessary to go to
that extreme. As I stated earlier, the wire IS vinyl coated. Did you not
read the message in your haste to "rain on my parade"? The wood wipes off
completely. Obviously, you are not interested in a cage of this quality
and have been fooled into thinking that wood on glider cages is a no no. Ask
Bourbon. She has seen and used Betsy's cages and travel carrier. Ask
Bourbon how they look and smell. Surely after 3 years of use, if you
were right, they would reek. I think you under-estimate Betsy. She is a very
concerned glider owner and would not use or recommend anything she has
not tried herself.
