Security issues Causing feeding problems?

Nah I'm not to worried, just that I know her cage is to big and she does have some room in her hides so I am working to fix that.

I am half way to affording my rack which I think she'll feel more comfortable in(Plus the heat will be easier), still I need to find better hides. I went to look yesterday but the 1st size down of flower pot seems to small and low to the ground.


I'll just have to keep looking, there are a couple dollar stores on my route tomorrow.

I have a somewhat off topic question for you..was wondering how exactly to make those flower pot things into hides, do you make the drain hole in the bottom bigger? And if so, what do you use to do that with? Thanks!

I actually use the water collection dishes that go under the pot. And I just knock a chunk of the lip off with a hammer and sand it abit if it comes off to jagged.

Thanks, that's actually what I meant. I like the terra cotta since it's a bit heavier than those plastic ones. So the whole thing doesn't crack when you do this?

Oooh no it has before. You have to hold it just right and not push your luck.


I hold near the center and make one good solid strike near the mid or bottom of the lip. Ususally I'll just get a nice opening. Now if I try to widen it I can crack the whole thing. Honestly your gonna want to tap it but that won't work, best to give it one good whack and hold near the area not at the top.


You will break some, just get them from walmart because they are pretty cheap there. I wouldn't spend alot because I know I'd break them.
