Ok, so far I've got all the pieces of the cage together. I got two big boxes. And for a bp cage, they are big
I painted the sides of the boards facing the inside with a white enamel to protect against moisture. One coat would supposedly suffice, but I always do two. The outside gets one coat so it looks niceThe vent holes are cut, and I need to patch up some areas with the paint to make the inside spiffy.
The heat sources, lamps, are in place and ready to go. After patching with paint I need to add a few minor supports here and there, 20 mins worth of work. Then I need to build the slots for the sliding glass. Should be real easy. Once the glass is in place they can move in. It's really easy to build cages when you've done a couple. These looks real nice and should last a good time. I like em, I'll snap pics when done and write a small DIY with graphics. This is such a simple cage, but roomy.
I made it with cheap plywood, heck for two cages worth of wood it cost 30$! And maybe when done the amount of time spent building will be 5 hours.
It'll also take a week more for me to get the plexi cut up, so the cage paint should try nice and hard. And it should all be vented and no fumes. I think they'll love it![]()
