There's substrate on the second level and non-slip strips on the ramps but not the landing area between the ramps. Do you think I need substrate as well as non-slip strips or would strips do? He seems to be managing fine.
I splurged and made myself a PVC enclosure.
Took months of designing, planning, and getting quotes for the materials and a week to build (with my husband and kids' help).
I'm so happy with how it turned out and our little Russian is getting used to his new space.
I was hoping for 3x5 or 3x6 if I push it.
@wellington , yes, you're totally right. Even 1 bin costs $30 CAD. I've already bought 2.
Here's the little guy/girl.
I have a 1 year old Russian and I was wanting to build an indoor closed enclosure. Things is that I'm short on space so it was going to be a 2 level structure so having multiple bins also wouldn't work (and mine seemed to become brittle quickly).
I've gotten multiple quotes now for both custom built and for the materials to DIY but it's just not affordable for me at the moment.
What material would be the best alternative?
Yes, it's for a 1 year Russian and yes, I'm trying to get close to the 4x8 sizing. I can get 30 square feet with the design I have so far and he has a wheel right now that he loves so it should be good for awhile I think.
I looked at 5/8" thickness cellular PVC sheets today and was surprised...
I wanted to have a 3'x5'x3' (DxWxH) enclosure with a second level to maximize square footage. I got a quote to have it custom made but the cost is way out of my budget. I'm going to try to make one myself but have a few questions.
If it's 5 feet wide, how much support/cross bracing am I going...
No, I think it may have been my humidity. :( I thought I was making it humid enough but didn't have a hygrometer until recently when I noticed the slight pyramiding and I don't think I was spraying it down enough. Since I've gotten the meter, I've been checking it constantly! I'm looking at...
