Default My home made Billy Extension cage for my dwarf!!

So I have only had a hamster for two weeks and I decided she needed a bigger and more natural set up than the Duna! So, I have built the famous IKEA Billy extension cage!

I built the shelf unit and used aquarium sealant to seal the glass shelf to the front of the cage! My dad and I build a frame using pine slats and stapled wire mesh to create a lid! I attached the lid with some hinges and voila!!
I will attach pics!
I'd like to attach more than one pic at a time but I don't know how!
