I am thinking about using the cage as a plant protector. Can the bottom be removed so to fit over the plant?

I use my cage as a plant protector. You can not open from the bottom but the top is hinged. I removed the "perch" with wire cutters and set my plant inside and closed and locked the top. I use a spouted watering can. I have a Devils Ivy growing and it looks nice with leaves coming through the side of the cage. I would not attempt to hang the cage due to thr weight of the potted plant but it looks nice sitting on a table.

It wouldn't fit under ours, but we hid the base with a plant and it works fine.

There is a 'shelf' that covers about a third near the bottom, but no, there's really no bottom as it is meant to be put on the top of a 10 gallon aquarium -- which works great for my two gerbils. They're flying up and down the ramp all day to take full advantage of the extra space.

I don't know about that. Mine is above ground and I put plants all around it to disguise. Works great!

Yes, you can remove the wire on the bottom, but the only thing is that there is a little space between the tray and the cage. It shouldn't be a problem if your chinchillas are full-grown.

I use ours on the inside of the cage. Our cage has a base part that sticks out so I couldn't put it on the outside. We love it.

No. This is a DIVIDER ONLY. The cage bottom can be purchased separately. (The Item you asked about is listed as the Habitat DIVIDER. The Habitat comes with the bottom (Green) part, the divider panel DOESN'T.) The divider only has a VERTICAL green panel.

Yes, since it sits on a ledge all around the inside of the stand, I don't see why it couldn't sit on another kind of surface. I actually don't place the seed tray where the directions say to, i.e. with the wire grill on top of it, since I don't want to have to keep cleaning poop off that grill. I put the seed tray on top of the two grills (one's a grill, the other one is more of a frame that helps stabilize the sides of the cage. Previous answer was correct, you need a surface that's large enough for this cage's footprint.

No. It's too small. I also feel the protection on bottom is not strong enough.

No, I don't think there is. I have a plant stand that I use and it works just as well as a costly cage stand. Just a note: I wouldn't purchase this cage again, there's not much room. The birds (parakeets) gravitate to the two SMALL sections at the top so it's like they're just sitting in a tiny cage. Poor design overall. We only use it at night when they go to bed.

It can be cut to fit easily. One shortcoming, for my purposes, was that it blocked a little more sunlight than the similar products that I have used in the past. This was manifested by death of leaves after being sheltered by this paper for about two months. The paper shield was about two feet in height, and the parts of the plants above that level did well. Since I already have more of this paper for next year, I shall remove it from a fence around my garden after the first week or two next year.

It can be removed. When your putting your cage together just leave that piece out. Without the bottom grate the wabbitat is a lot like a dog crate/kennel. I have a dwarf netherland rabbit and he's fine with the grate in! Either way, we love this cage (a plus- no more dirty, stained rabbit feet from walking in its waste).

Yes, but we did not use groundcover around our plants and lost quite a few of them. Last fall we cleaned around the remaining plants and laid down groundcover and the plants have survived. It would have been so much easier to put that down at first. Good luck! Sandra O.

Bottom is not removable and no holes on the bottom. I love it, hope my answer was not a deterrent.

I bet you could buy some small rubber caps that would fit the bottom for protection but it only has the small rubber pads as mentioned on the very bottom.

Yes remove it. Mine is lovely and happy for over 6 months now. Love this plant !

I am returning the habitat because of the design. The openings through the side wire are very small and it would be very hard to clean without taking the whole cage apart.
