Please help me! I was going to get Billy a Billy bookcase but The backs are soooo flimsy and I think it would break easily. I have browsed and searched the Internet for hours and can't find a cage for my 3 year old marginated! At the moment he is in a cage which would be small for a hatchling.:( I cant find a cage anywhere and I am sorry but I am not making one as I live with my mum and she is terrible at making things and we have no wood shops near by so please take don't say make one. I live in England and please may I have a link to something that would be suitable. It has to fit in my room so can't be massive but I have searched for plastic boxes and rabbit cages but can't find any PLS help. :):)

You can use the flimsy-backed book case. Afterall, it is going to be sitting on the floor, which supports it. You just need to line it with a sheet of plastic to protect it from the moist substrate.

The guinea pig cage wouldn't hold in heat and humidity. What I did for my box turtle is I used an old dresser. I took out the drawers and ribs and just turned it onto it's back.

But is it big enough ( the guenia pig cage) because I can add a lid and make it more humid, i just need a base. :):)

Yes exactly. That is almost exactly like the one I have for my tortoise and then another one for my Boxturtle. I have a thread on it go in right now if you want ideas. They work Great, I bet there something similar over there.

Can you make a tunnel for him to use that doll house? Because that would be awesome! Who wouldn't want to live in a doll house?
