tokays new cage

tokaysrnice Apr 09, 2007 05:51 PM

this is the cage i made out of an old sunglass display case. i took out the shelves and constructed the background with greatstuff and styrofoam then coated it with four layers of vinyle concrete with different pigment in it. I picked up the bamboo from a local bamboo shop and all the fake plants from a craft store.the hole thing took me about 2 weeks of construction and then 2 weeks of dry time. The cost minus the case i got for free was about 150 dollars.The tokays have been in it for about two months and the only problems i've had are the first couple weeks of feeding them and they ate the crickets with such gusto they screwed their faces up from hitting the concrete. It seems like they learned thier lesson and they don't go after the crickets quit as aggresively.
