Came across this the other day...
Your next project? ;)

:)

I've been browsing through degu forums, same advice for enclosure as torts... building your own seams to be the way forward. I'm thinking I'll stick with a bought cage as i'm paranoid about them escaping.

we have seen a massively tall cage that will be perfect, £200 but hey, fidos build cost around £600 so i can live with that!

jade has ordered a play pen and i'll be making a tunnel so they can come in and out cage in to play are when we are in... hopefully help build trust as well

so guess who's one of the best learners my instructor has seen parallel park;) 3 throughout the lesson and perfect every time!
Gold star for you John!
My sisters have been driving years but the still can't do it and will park as far away from other cars as they can.
I think they secretly belong to a Ramblers Club cause you certainly have to walk a fair distance to get to where you are going if you travel anywhere with them.

Wow £600! Lucky tort :)
I've been browsing for a new cage.
I've found the one that I want and it's actually a rabbit cage. It is so big that I would have to get rid of furniture in my room to fit it in. My mum doesn't want me to get a new cage as she says that the one I have is perfectly good. o_O
Found one for under half the price but it is collection only and ages away from me. It's worth looking around as you might be surprised how cheap you can get them as I don't know about you but, I don't care if it's been used, as long as it's in good condition :)

If you join your local Freecycle website (free to do) you can see if anyone is giving one away, or post a 'Wanted' and wait to see of anyone offers you one. Its surprising what people remember they don't want anymore when they read the Wanteds

Just sat by the cage and let the girls climb over me. Both sat on my shoulder and ate treats. :)
They seem to have switched roles, now pip is the adventurous one. She seems comfortable with me now.
They are still not keen on being picked up but happily climb on my hands. It will take time, I guess :p

The A/C unit for my house officially died this past Friday. Luckily, it's been on the cool side. I replaced one of my glass front windows with PLEXIGLASS so that I could modify it for a vent and I've hooked up a 9,000 BTU portable air conditioner in the living room for now.(9,000 is small for the size of the room)
I'll have to deal with the $3,000 main unit when I return from Georgia. But at least Kelly wont overheat in the meantime.

Not something we have to worry about here. I have an electric fan for exceptionally hot days - not been used much!
