Looking for a cage cover, anyone have or seen covers from Cozzzy Covers? I want one that creates a dark environment, my sheets don't do that.
Thanks

Bill I made the one for Salty's cage from very heavy fabric from one of the fabric stores. It's a dense black material is pretty easy to sew its custom fit and it's really really dark in there. I suggest if you're at all handy with a needle and thread that you do the same or ask a woman in your life to do it.

Heheh, in my house there are two things which hardly get any use...the sewing machine and the iron

Gloria, BFA, adopted on Jan. 9, 2016 when she was 30 years old
. Her mom went to a nursing home.
Also have 2 cats (Rangerand Luna) and a 24 year old aquatic turtle, named Elvis.
I'm a new parront and I had to make a cover. My 30 year old BFA came with an old dome top cage. I was able to make a fitted cover that velcros in the front. Before the cover was made, I used the fabric by draping two lengths over--side to side and front to back. I used a few paper clamps to clamp the corners to keep the cats from looking under the cover. It worked well as a make shift. If you do decide to make one, Joann Fabrics sells nice 100% cotton black twill that they call "bottomweight"--figure it's for making slacks/skirts so it's heavier than cotton broadcloth and it darkens well. You can find coupons for 40 - 50% off one item right on the joann's website that you can pull up on your phone and use immediately.

I used a dark colored Polar Fleece I bought from Joann Fabrics when it was 50% off. Cost me less than $20.00 for 5 yards of 60" wide. I had them cut it in half for me (so I got 2 pieces 2.5 yards each) I brought it home and sewed a strait seam down the longest sides to join them together and just toss it over Zilla's huge dome top cage. It's dark, it's warm and it was fairly cheap & easy.
I would measure how long you need it to be front to back and side to side and then figure out how much fabric you need to buy (36" = 1 yard in length and most polar fleece is 60" wide, but it will say on the end of the bolts)

I ended up purchasing the Cozzzy Cover and except for the price I like it very much. It fits my cage nicely, is lightweight, and makes the interior of the cage pitch black when used.
I found a place that was $10+ cheaper than everyone else.
