>>My new Okeetee has been with us all of four days and escaped. He is 7 mo. and has a standard 10 gallon with a half-hinged wire mesh top from Petco. I have no idea how he did it, and have read that corns excell in this activity. There is no way to lock, or clamp, the top (from what I can tell). I've got about 20lbs of books piled on each end right now but I am afraid that will overheat the little 10 gallon. I am looking for a more permanent solution that does not involve my library. Any ideas? I'm not ready to invest in permanent, larger Vision cages at this point. And how can a little corn do it, anyway???
I HATE those hinged tops. I also hate the sliding ones...that have 1/8-1/4" slop in them. The mostly escape proof tank lids are the heavier wire ones that have metal throughout and aren't wobbly. Weight helps. But with the hinged lids...especially the plastic ones I noted that weight just seemed to open the center seam by bowing it.
I put tiny baby corns into critter keepers or sweater boxes...with carefully melted SMALL vent holes. ----- Sonya
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
