Creating a cage topper

[Nagrom]

Yesterday I bought a cage ruffly the same size as my dwarfs tank he is currently housed in,it's slightly wider an slightly shorter.Now my idea is to turn it into a cage topper for the tank I just dono how,do I cut a hole in the base of the cage and put a ladder in place or what.You guys got any suggestions.

I've just done this for my gerbils tank. what I did was leave the plastic base off and use cable-ties wrapped around the bottom of the wire part of the cage, fixed around whatever in the top of the tank you can wrap them around. Cheap, quick and easy!

Thanks for the input,What did you connect the cable ties to though.

My tank had a lid with it so I drilled holes carefully to put the cable ties through. If you don't have a tank lid, then I would suggest making a wooden base frame that will either sit in the 'lid' part (the shelves either side that are on most fishtanks) of the tank or can just sit on top, then carefully drill holes through the wood and secure the wire top with the cable ties.
