Hello,
Sorry for all these postings, I am just trying to get a good set up for my hatchlings since I messed up by getting a viv which i am now going to sell on to a lizard or something.
Just wondering if anyone has successfully used one of those indoor rabbit cages as a tortoise table (see pic below).
My theory behind this is that, on warm days, i can move them to garden and put the 'cage' on top so that they are safe from other animals (we have cats, foxes, rats). In the house I will keep the cage off, but may also be useful for suspending lighting. Also this means that they will be in the same environment (as such) day or night whether inside or out so less disturbance. Obviously when they are bigger I will make then a proper area in the garden. The cages also come in many sizes so can upgrade as required. Easy to clean, hygienic.
Does anyone have any views on this. Also would there be any problems with the plastic base with heat lamps; melting or toxic fumes (maybe I could put tiles on bottom to line it).
Thanks
Laura
