Animal Plastics enclosure

[shotty]

Ok, so I REALLY want one of these enclosures. Ive had enough with my custom wood one (which is such a pain to heat!) and I dont want a tub so an animal plastics cage seems like the only option...although there is a problem, I live in the UK. I know they could probably ship one to me, but it would cost a small fortune to get something that big sent over here! Any ideas where I can get something similar in the UK?! If anyone from UK has a similar enclosure please let me know where you got it!
Cheers

AP will ship it not assembled to save on freight costs, give them a call and see.

And if AP's cages are anything like their racks, they are easy to assemble. Perfect fit and great directions.

cheers for the help guys, and I'll look into it, but i still think postage is gunna be steep when its unassembled, and Im on a tight budget, being a student!
Come on you UKers! One of you must have a good plastic enclosure for around here?! lol

Cheers,

just wondering but why don't you want a tub? it's totally understandable, aesthetics and all, but definitely just wondering your reasons.

I've given it a lot of thought, but being as my ball is my only pet I want him to be in a "proper home". Sounds silly I know, but a nice cage does look better in the lounge than a tub!
I'm sure when it gets out of control and I own loads of balls I'll be converted to tubs, but until then the hunt remains for a nice, plastic enclosure.

understandable. i feel ya on that. my tubs are in a low traffic area because i'm not really "showing" them. don't really want to stress them out and no reason to have them around my friends and i drinking or video games all night. the thing about balls and "nice cages" is that IMO they don't come out all that much. at night maybe i'll see her switch hides or mess around for a little bit but they're pretty reclusive for the most part and if i got a nice t3 for her i could see myself just having a sweet view of her hides and a water dish. that's cool though, good luck with the search! i'm sure you'll find something that looks really good and is effective. i might even be a bit jealous...lol

I understand too, to each his own.

But if you don't mind me asking, why isn't a tub "proper"? Tubs are perfect for them and I think they are the best way to keep them, even if you only have one!

Sorry about that, did you call AP yet?

From what Ive read, and from being on this forum, I do think tubs are definatley the way to go for practicality, but I still wanna meet somewhere in the middle between being practical and aesthetics...although every day I lean more towards a tub set up!

I emailed AP but am still waiting on a reply, I'll let you know the outcome when they get back to me.

Cheers for the advice everyone!
