Planning a natural tank set-up

linford27 · 05-11-2013, 02:16 AM

In June, once it is released, I should be receiving the Living World Eco Habitat! I'm soooo excited! I did some maths (I'm not so good at maths) but if the measurements are

78.5 x 58.5 x 55 cm (L x W x H)

does that equal something around 50 (UK) Gallons? Or have I done it wrong?

Anyway, I am hoping to do a natural set up for it! I have been looking around for inspiration, and hope to go to the pet shop this week and stock up! I'm getting a standalone wheel, a suction sippy bottle, so am trying to decide what else to get to give the cage a natural theme. Like others I've seen on here, I want to do a little section marked off by wooden sticks and put sand in that area, so I was thinking a coconut house for that area, (like almost a desert theme), and for the main area I was hoping for some driftwood and a half log house. If anyone has any other ideas for me or suggestions as to natural toys etc. please let me know!

pretty nice, the large one is not cheap..

Just my opinion here, but i think you'd get much better value for your money if you bought the Falco Small pet Cage from zooplus. Its bigger, nicer and is cheaper, plus you can still fit in all the natural things like driftwood.

Thanks guys, luckily money isn't an issue!

There have also been comments on this forum about the risk of escape due to the holes in the side and lid....and the need to line it to prevent urine damage.

Are you not getting it from Zooplus? The do a bigger one for only about £10 more from what I remember?

I will be reviewing it in The Hamster Mag so any issues like these I'll need to test out anyway. Value for money, and quality of the cage is not a problem because of the fact I will be feeding back to the company about it.
