I am planning on building an IKEA Billy Extension cage in March for my dwarf Smudge. I was wondering if there is anyone who has built one who could give me the measurements/dimensions for the pieces of wood used to make the lid.


Also, I'd love to use a U track on the bottom and slides to help hold in the glass...anyone know where I can get it small enough in the US (too big at Lowes & Home Depot)??

Thanks in advance for the help

You can get the sliding door tracks on Amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/Knape-Vogt-P2417TAN48-Plastic-Sliding/dp/B000CSK398/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360781367&sr=8-1&keywords=glass+cabinet+track). These tracks come highly recommended for custom vivarium/terrariums on reptile forums and will work great. I bought 4 of these awhile ago in preparation for my own Ikea hack and they're very easy to cut to size or spray paint to the color you prefer. :)

Hamtastic made one and posted instructions but I now can't find the thread. Might be worth PMing her...
