Wow I was actually planning on doing something very similair! I have an older Ikea expedit shelf in my room already, it's 4x4 boxes and I was thinking of converting it but mums not keen on the idea

Can't wait to see how yours turns out though

does this mean you will have some spare cages to fill??? looks cool, you need to get your parents to take you out of school for a mnth to build it asap as we are impatient here..

Thats going to be fantastic, can't wait to see it develop

Thanks for all the comments, i am really exited and happy!

So i have got the Expedit and made it up and put a back on it! All we need to do now is the sliding glass doors and the middle floor... Dad thinks it will be done by next weekend

Pictures!

I put in a 112 and 8" wheel so you can visualise how big it is.

Wow, that is big

Are you going to set it up like german cages?

stellanova1 · 01-03-2011, 12:41 PM

Ooooh exciting!! can't wait to see what its like finished!

sorry if I'm being an idiot..where's the ventilation? >.<
going to put it in after middle shelf?

Upon seeing how you seem to be zooming through this..I'm really tempted!
(I realise you've obviously spent a lot of time on it, and it's fairly tricky >.< but think of the happy little hammy faces! )

Yep, i am going to put them in after the middle shelf is in, so i know where to place them.

Its expensive for all the supplies mind!

Thought so..are you following the gist of how the girl on the german forum did hers? minus the digging chamber, aquarium sealant etc?
I thought the air holes would be the trickiest bit to do, that and the glass >.<
I assume the glass would be the most expensive bit D:
Out of curiosity where'd you get your glass from?
I was considering getting a zz2 for one of my hamsters..but would need a shelving unit to put it on anyway..so you know..this really isn't *that* much more work

(I'm practising how I'm going to ask my dad to make it for me ;p )
