I need to know the best way to construct long,(6ft.) short,(18"inch tall) (3ft.deep) wooden cages directly off of a long block wall,all connecting like condos from the floor to the ceiling almost..I want to use the block wall as the back wall of every cage as cold weather doesnt apply here..I am wondering about how to run the wiring as well,the best way..Show me pics if possible of some set ups,Pro Exotics has some frame work pics but its really hard to see some of it..Need advice thanks

My advice is firstly...dont do this because if your attached to the wall it will be forever and ever amen...Also...3 feet deep and 18 inches high means a major pain to get into them to clean.

If you really want them attached to the wall I would probably just drill into the wood frames and set block anchors into the wall and use silicone between the frame wood and the wall before screwing them into place. I still think its a bad idea though.

What are you looking to house in these and why do you want them attached to the wall?
