Abstract
A cage apron adapted for use with a wire cage for redirecting debris scattered from within the cage by an enclosed animal back into the cage. The apron has at least one locking member having equally spaced locking tabs extending the length thereof and at least one ratchet member having equally spaced crenations extending the length thereof which is ratcheted along the locking tabs of the locking member for telescopically joining the members into a frame like structure for mounting on the cage. Each of the members is formed with a flanged edge and an opposite support edge. The flanged edges of the two members align with each other into a locked relationship when the two members are telescopically joined. A plurality of removable tabs extend outwardly from the support edge of the ratchet member for extending through the cage bars. A plurality of serrations are formed on the ratchet member for separating the ratchet member into a desired length to match the length of the cage.
