hey guys,

i bought a large dog kennel 13 FT by 7.5 Ft by 6 ft its nice and big , this cage will be for my two females... now heres where i run into some probs... its all constructed and i laid new sod in the cage and it has a small pond with 7 differnt types of plants for visual barriers and along with small 1 ft W X 2 Ft L X 9In. H boxes for small hides along with one big hide spilt into two that will be fully electrical with heat lamps and UV lights for the winter but i didnt put any barrier on the floor i have nest box's for the ladies to dig in , but what are the chances of them diggin of of the cage??... and the cage will also have a 2 foot visual barrier so they cant see out .... what would be best , to leave no mesh on the ground and hope for the best or just dig around the cage its self and place boards of wood about 1 foot deep around the cage?????

Thanks mike

hey guys i need help asap .. thanks to every one that replies/...

told you on the phone when you purchased them I can save you a lot of grief and possibly money if you call me on caging etc. I don't mind helping you at all...TC

give them any oppurtunity to they will dig out. In the wild they live in long burrows they construct. Also they live in a very arid enviroment that looks a little like the Sonoran Desert. Not only do they not need pools they don't do well long term in a damp enviroment!!!!TC
