But have never seen anywhere to get acrylic hinges and such. Does anybody know?

I ordered some acrylic hinges from US Plastic quite a few years ago. The are an easy one-stop shopping place for this type of stuff but in the past have been quite overpriced. Factor in outrageous shipping costs and you really pay for that "easy one-stop shopping".

I would spend some time on google and see if you can find another source.

Also, I will warn you that working with acrylic does have a learning curve and there are disadvantages to it as a cage material, especially a cage with even moderate humidity. Some of these disadvantages can be somewhat overcome by using higher quality acrylic or polycarbonate.
