Atoms on the ceiling?

[aubs1220]

So I was creepin' on the sticky where everyone posts pictures of their setups, and I notice a lot of you have atoms. I'm thinking that would be a good idea for Ditto, to hang above her her cage (it has a play top), however, me not being handy in the slightest, how hard are they to hang. I do have a slanted ceiling, and would prefer to minimize the damage done to it.

They are a bit heavy and have to be put into a stud. Well, the jumbos are heavy.... not sure about the smaller ones.

I have large atoms, and they are hung with the drywall anchor that came with them. So far so good

A ceiling toggle bolt should be enough, being hung at an angle actually increases their strength (it's called shear) Just look at the weight rating - you want to hang no more than about 1/4th of that weight from it. A bolt rated for 100 pounds should hold up to 25 and so on.
