I have seen TOO MANY people on this site with WAY WAY to small cages. Keets need big cages, and even if the cage you got says it for keets, and you bought it at a pet store, it is most likely not. They will sell you anything.

Here are the MINIMUM cage dimensions for cages w/ keets:


Minimum dimensions of cages:

MIN. Size for ONE - 18x18x18"
Volume=5,832" sq.

MIN. Size for TWO - 30x18x18"
Volume= 9,720" sq.

MIN. Size for THREE - 32x18x20"
Volume= 11,520" sq.

MIN. Size for FOUR - 34x18x25"
Volume= 15,300" sq.

MIN. Size for FIVE - 35x18x30"
Volume= 18,900" sq.

MIN. Size for SIX - 40x18x32"
Volume= 23,040" sq.


~~basically, get the largest cage you can afford, that is around those requirements.~~

****Also, make sure the maximum bar spacing (spacing in between the bars) is 1/2"...no more! It's a dangerous hazard for the keets if it is larger than 1/2". ****


you don't have to have the same dimensions as those, just make sure the volume inside is only above or below a little of what is required.

To find Volume: just multiply the Length x Width x Height. very easy.


Ex) 30X18X36= 19,440" sq.

Which is big enough for 5 spaciously. 6 with much outside of cage time!!


And remember people, this is their home. They need room to play and have fun. They will not be happy if they are in a little tiny cage not even big enough for 1. Please get a bigger cage for your keet(s) and if you can't afford it, maybe keets aren't for you. :-\ They need love, attention, and a big cage.
