My tank/cage plans

[Faerydae]

I have my 2 hamsters in a split fish tank at the moment, but because it's split into 2, they don't have as much room as I'd like, so I'm planning on building an extension to go on top of it so they have more room to play.

The wooden areas will have a thin metal around the edges to stop them destroying it through chewing and will be treated to make them waterproof so they don't soak up urine

These are my plans so far, let me know what you think

nice drawing
I'm assuming the circles are for tubes?
i think its gonna be ace x

[Faerydae]

thanks

I'm not sure if I'm cutting circles or just the corners out yet, don't really like cleaning tubes so I'm thinking the second option and putting ladders up

Thats a nice design. Hope it works out.

gonna take a while

need to see if anyone I know has any of the stuff I need spare and lying around before I go out and spend money

[Faerydae]

I've made the extension

didn't use any wood to save money so made the whole thing out of cage mesh... my arms and hands are REALLY cut up from it now but it's worth it to see them happy

and don't worry about the mesh floor... it's now covered since taking the photo ^_^
