Teddie's Treehouse

[Teddy001]

Okay, I found an attachment to add onto Teddie's Critter Nations cage, on Craigslist! It was a bargain, I couldn't pass up!

So, now I'm working on building a treehouse to go in the new addition. Does anyone have suggestions on what safe " bendable" twine that can be used, as I am wanting to wrap twine or bendable branches around the house to give it an appearance of being in a tree..I'm using dried apple and pear branches to design the house, which will stand up high on a cylinder that will look like a tree trunk. Sadly, the dried apple and pear branches break when I try to wrap them around..:/ I'll post photos, of the finished treehouse..

Thanks for your suggestions.:)

All I can suggest is some kind of paper coated craft wire... Like that found on those mini craft roses/leaves...?

Can't wait to see the tree house!

Would sisal rope work? I'm looking forward to pictures as well! :)

[kyrilliondaemon]

You can tie them together with sisal string if that helps? Or otherwise some of us have used steel wire in pet toys (primarily bridges) but you need to be really, really careful that the hams can't get at any sharp ends somehow

Thanks, All:)..

I was able to use cherry tree branches, but not as many as I wanted.. I'm working on attaching the ladder, and a few add'l details to the house, and should be reAdy to set it up in Teddie's cage. This project tired me out.. Lol. As I did a partial cage clean, and spot cleaned my two other cages, in between glue dry time for the tree house, and I also made 3 additional lofts, cut plexi glass for. 2 of them, painted and attached the plexi glass which was a PITA!! Lol. I'm going to have to block 1 side of the treehouse, where there's a gap on the platform, so Teddie doesn't try to squeeze thru and decide to take a leap off. UGH!! Those things that appear when you think your all done.. Lol. The treehouse was very time consuming.. .. I've also connected the cage to the 55 gallon tank, and decided to make some changes to it.. So, lots of work today, on Teddies set ups..

Here's pic's of the Treehouse.. It was made with re-cycled wood, that I had on hand, and cherry, pear and apple tree branches. Oh, and I wanted it to look, 'old and weathered'. :)

Excuse the sideways photo's. . I have no clue why they posted sideways, when they save upright. LOL.

Even sideways on it looks amazing! Great idea & beautifully made, lucky ham :)

[2LittlePuds]

Thanks, Esmy.. I keep saying.. This is my last ham project.. Lol. I think it will be my last time consuming ham project until next year.. Lol. I must focus on home projects, not as much FUN.. Lol.

I think it will be my last time consuming ham project until next year.
Somehow I can't quite see that happening lol!

Somehow I can't quite see that happening lol!

LOL!! I know... I'm addicted.. Must seek treatment.. Lol.. I just Enjoy doing them very much.. My husband says, I'm in my " own little world" when I'm working on ham projects.. Lol. ( and he's right)

Last project. Yeah right. lol. Just like I have nothing in my mind to make for the hams. If you and me stopped making stuff for hams, there would be another illness to put in the books of psychiatry. I think we would go mad if we didnt make things. lol.

Great house, by the way. I love it. =D> =D> =D>

Hehe.. Those ideas that seamlessly pop up in ones mind..Lol. I get them quit often. Then challenge myself to bring them to life- not to mention, working on ham related projects, is a lot more enjoyable and less expensive than treatment sessions with a psychologist! Aha!!
