Check for posts in the photo section(not right now) I will probably be able to get out and take a ton of pictures over the weekend. Actually I will take some snaps right now and post them in here

I always pick up used one too. I have too many. No I don't modify them at all. I use cypress mulch with a couple hide spots. And when I give the big guys water I always soak down the mulch. Has to be done every day. But it says nice best of both worlds ventilation and humidity.

Do you have pics of the ones you have setup for small redfoots by chance?

"Come as you are" pic of my rabbit cage for two small redfoots.

Here are the room mates.

Now if we all lived in Southern FL we could do like Vince does. I think he keeps forgetting most of us have below FREEZING temps right now. And heating systems suck the humidity right out of the air.

If your redfoot looks like he's crying all of the time.. it's because the air is too dry!

For the tubs I build a top from 1x1s and 1x2s with 1/4 " chicken wire. Measure inside dimensions tub and cut 1x1 s to size, staple chicken wire to this frame, cut 1x2 at 45 degree angle with inside dimension matching that of the 1x1, and secure these pieces together. This is a dog and cat proof cover. Use plastic on this cover to adjust humidity. This basic design worked for me for about 20 years.
