Safe cage suggestions
Exotic nutrition comes in single and double (linked here). The trays are all metal and ready to use right out of the box. We do suggest removing the ramps since they can pose a risk. Double is big enough for up to 6 chins, single is big enough for 3

Ware cages are slightly cheaper than the other options and make good starter cages in a budget or as a quarantine cage. The wire mesh shelves are safe to use but we advise not using the ramps. The bars are softer than since other cage options so shelves that run from wall to wall are best to avoid breaking bars. The bottom pan is metal so chew proof. Good size for 2-3 chins if you add more shelves

Ferret nation cages are very common and are good cages with some modification. They come in singles and doubles. The trays are plastic and will need fleece covers or replacement with metal (so extra cost). The ramps are not safe and will need to be removed. Single cage fits 3, double fits up to 6 chins

Quality cage crafters- they have several cages that are safe. The only con is the shipping. Unfortunately sometimes they don't ship quickly and it can be a few weeks before you get your order. https://qualitycage.com/
