Hey. Today I figured out I am so bored without school (don't judge, it's not that I chose it LoL) and decided to do something for my hammies. Now, I am making big amount of paper bedding daily, but still.
(Boring part over, or is it)
So, I figured out I want to upgrade Aiden's cage. It's a 60 centimeters x 30 centimeters x 30 centimeters aquarium. I do know it's pretty small, but I ment; he will be in here for a week max, I will so upgrate. Turn's out it's been almost 2 months.
I do have some poly(methyl methacrylate)/ plexiglas. Now, I am creating two levels that will be transparent. I'll try to go with something plastic/modern/space-ish, will see how it turns out.

Water bottle will most likely stay, as well as wheel (for some time, but I am getting a Savic Orbital).

YAY! I am getting a new home.

Anyone with any experience in cutting plexiglass?

It is very tricky to cut! We score using a stanley knife then snap over an edge using pliers. Any curves need specialist equipment so unless you have access to this it can be hard to work with in our experience.

After about 4 days of struggling I finally finished cutting (2) shleves. It didn't turn out the way I wanted but it will do the job. Currently silicone is drying, a vid is coming up; first thing in the morning.
