Ive been keeping a secret...

Well over the last couple of weeks I have been making my own hamster cage, I didnt want to let anyone know incase it all went wrong lol, but now it is finished so I thought I would add a few pics for you to have a nosey at.
Here they are:

Oscars:

Maisies:

Lizzies:

They seem to love them, I used Gloss on the outside of the cages as the hammies wont come in contact with the outside, and I used plastikote on the inside, there wasnt enough to cover the back, floor and shelf, so I used wallpaper on the back with plastic covering so I can wide it down when I clean them out, I then bought 4 packs of 4 vinyl floor tiles from poundland to put on the floor and the shelf. I used wire mesh at the back for ventalation and also drilled 10mm holes in the sides to add more ventalation. The doors are made from a wooden frame with perspex sheet.

Hope you like them

That is absolutely amazing, it looks so good! Usually i'm not so keen on homemade cages as they look kinda.. homemade? but this looks absolutely beautiful, I love the way it's white! You've made me want to make one now, *goes off to nag my dad* D: How much did it cost in total?
