    New hides for EVERYBODY
    Yesterday my dear ol' dad helped me cut an entry door to 6 clay pots for my 3 terrariums. It took about an hour and a half of work. We learned that those little terra cotta pots from Home Depot actually have a pretty tough concrete core, but the right tool for the right job prevailed. I also found some great crepe myrtle branches to add to the cages for a nice look and some climbing space. I sanded down any sharp edges on the pots and baked the wood at 350 for nearly an hour. They turned out pretty nice!

    I'd be worried that the holes are too big so they won't feel secure, but if they keep eating it's obviously not an issue. They look great in there anyways.

    The holes are about perfect in my opinion. They were much bigger before when I had just broken holes in the pots. They've got some room to grow into them. The next size down is too small and up is way too big. And yes they eat very well. As soon as I open the cage they smell the rats and pop their heads out. My little girl still isn't yet using them, but I just put them in today. Gotta get her a mouse later and we'll see.
