Custom made

Thought I would share a few photos of the enclosure I had built. A good friend of mine did the work. I just delivered the materials for 3-5 more of them. He's going to make 3 the same size as this one and 2 smaller ones. I love the screened front and top. Plenty of ventilation.
With the front down I have great access to the radixes. I mean, they have great access to me!
My new ones will have a 2x4 front ledge, not a 2x2. I've had a few rocket right out of the enclosure and onto the floor.
I have to be very careful when closing it up. If one were to be caught in the jam they would be injured or even killed.
Looking forward to switching all mine over to these large enclosures.
These are not enclosures for newborns. Too many door gaps for them to wedge into and possibly get out. I like to keep newborns in glass for the first year.

those are SWEET, Steve! Have you sealed the wood with anything to make it water/poo proof? If so, what do you recommend?

This one isn't sealed. The next ones I plan on lining the bottom and sides(1 foot up) with fiberglass. I figure a foot up on the sides will keep the poop smearers under control. The fiberglass is the kind they use in showers. It has a rough texture. A 4x8 sheet of it should last a long time. I'm going to stay away from any kind of sealents.

It's a good size for sure plenty of scope to add climbing opportunities

Very nice!
I'd never considered using screen instead of glass. A much more affordable option. Maybe I'll have homemade vivs sooner than I think........
