A few years ago I purchased a set of 43mm BR Pro ceramic chips. At the time the only available solution to carry these in a bird cage was to use the Apache Chip cases.

I recently went back to the Bank Supply website and noticed that they had not one, but two options for bird cages that hold 43 mm chips and the racks. A standard and heavy duty model. Still being skeptical I called them up and asked for the internal dimensions which they sent. After seeing that I placed the order. They also carry the racks, but I elected to go with the BR pro racks to be 100% sure they would fit the chips I had.
I’m happy to report that the racks and the birdcage work together! The two piece racks that Apache and Justin sell work well and are great for a standard birdcage, but I was sometimes annoyed by having the two pieces.
I’m not quite sold on the BR pro racks as they are a bit wobbly, but again I bought them to be 100% sure. Bank supply sells racks but they’re more than double the cost. I’m wondering if Chipco racks would work better.
Not sure if this is well known right now or not. Anyway, I thought I’d share this with everyone as this was an issue a few years ago..
