Indoor enclosure

[paulste]

Hi here is my horsefield and new indoor enclosure. I realise there are still some improvements to be made - I'm hoping to get a new uvb supply (to replace spiral lamp) and heat lamp (to replace red lamp) - does anyone have any recommendations?

He came to me in a vivarium he's spent the last two+ years in. I did some research (including plenty of good reads on this forum - thank you) after watching him spend hours banging up and down the glass front and built him this new one which he seems much happier in.

His mouth on the right also concerns me slightly, could this have been damaged banging around in the viv?

Thanks all.

Because you have that one end dedicated to being a hiding place, I would remove the other hiding place. It takes up a lot of floor space. Instead, add a few tall plastic plants to give him a more secure feel.

The beak is starting to be overgrown. Hard to say what happened on the right side, but it's ok, it'll grow back.

do you have any links to some good tall plastic plants to buy?

Can I ask a question? Where is your indoor enclosure? Is it in the house or a garage or where? ( I’m trying to get my head around this for myself) Thanks

Charlie, if you'll look at the date you'll see that this thread was 4 years ago. I don't think this member is around any longer.
