Default Ferplast 140 conversion

I finally managed it! It took about 3 hours to mesh plus another couple of hours fitting the shelves, filling with bedding and generally getting it ready for our Syrian boy, Bilbo Baggins but ta-da! It's actually doable and we're so pleased with the results. This roughly measures 140cm L x 70cm W x 48cm H

sidenote: how cute and dinky does it make the two dunas look? Awh! (our dwarf boys are in a duna each as they were in a 3ft tank but had to recently be separated due to fighting )

Indeed! It actually only took 5 panels of Wickes 90cm x 60cm 6mm mesh so it wasn't as bad as we were expecting but still a lot of work, hah.

Thankfully my partner was there to help and do most of the difficult bits :P I was mainly a cable tie wizard - it took around 200 to make sure it was properly secure!

Thank you It's a struggle to find him sometimes, haha, but we usually spot his nose poking up out of the bedding somewhere once his food is scattered :P
