I'm trying to plan out an expanded pin for my red foots. I'm going to combine two 40 gallon totes. I was going to take the whole side wall off, but I think it'll be easier to just cut a portion of it off. Any thoughts on that?
I was also thinking if I cut just the middle potion off, I could create a soil area for them to play in, plus the mulch that I regularly use in the original portion of the enclosure, and maybe a pool area.
I'm not sure about the pool. I need pros and cons on adding this. What I was thinking was adding a ramp to and from the water. The ramp would also keep the water in that area.
By not cutting the entire side, a lip should remain from the tubs, which should hopefully keep some separation between mulch and dirt, but I'm not worried if it doesn't stay neat. I know it won't.
(By the way, I got the plastic welder, so that'll be what I use to seal gaps and whatnot.)
