Default Cage set ups

These are two of the cage set ups that I currently have. The glass vivarium set up is still under development and will house 2 White faced Robos when complete. Bottom layer for hiding, sleeping and chinchilla dust bath, middle layer for feeding and top layer will accomodate 2 4.5 inch silent spinner wheels.

The Wooden cabinet houses 2 Agouti coat Robos.

I like both of these. They look great - actually remind me of dolls houses. Did they take long to sort out?

No problems Mel. Glad i can be an inspiration. Good luck with the cage building.
Suga, the wooden cabinet took me about 2 hours to modify, Its 3 feet long, 18 inches deep and 21 inches high. It certainly gives my Robos plenty of exercise.

That should do the trick Mel. Good luck with the conversion and I must say, You've got a bargain there. An essential DIY tool will be a Holesaw attrachment for a drill from B&Q. Take a Rotastak tube with you so you get thevright size.

i'm thinking of using ramps instead of tubes. Since i'm now selling my rotastak tubes!
So i would cut a square with a jigsaw i think?
Then big squares to mesh for ventelation.
oh and possibly add a hinged door frame, meshed for the places that don't have doors.
My grandads going to be getting a whole lot of requests Luckily he likes doing this sort of thing!
