Hello Guys sometime ago I made a post about how to build my own enclosure, and now its being built with all of the advice given.
Enclosure Details:
The biggest I could make it was 4'x6'9", If I added another 2' Then we couldn't get into the bathroom. I added hooks for a Heat Lamp and 2 Lights. I'm going to cover all of the bottom with PVC Liner/Pond Liner so that the humidity, and substrate, doesn't rot the wood. I still have to add 2' 1x1 wood on each corner so that when I cover it with Clear Plastic It sits up Like a Tent. I Plan on Attaching the Plastic to the outside of the sides with Clamps, this way its easy to remove the top for cleaning. I Made it in 2 Parts, as shown in one of the pictures. This way it isn't too heavy and easy to set up. I drilled a cut price of fence Down the middle to join both parts. The smallest screws I could find for the wood was 1/4" too big so I had to use a grinder to cut the screw tips so no one gets hurt.
As of right now I'm 158$ into this, I believe there's only another 80$ worth of stuff left to do. Pretty great for those that have a very low budget.
Questions:
For somthing this large what would you do to keep this at 70% humidity? I noticed our pet store has these large half gallon Sprayers, I'm thinking about getting that, and just spraying the inside every so often. Also is it OK for Tortellini to eat Dandelions every day? now that we have grass growing he seems to be eating dandelions more than grass.
Tortellini Notes:
Now that spring is coming along he likes to munch on grass and dandelions, which is great. I'm hoping that by the time fall comes around I can start having him eat Orchard Hay.
