Should have thought of this earlier, is it still possible to put wheels on?

I'm in the process of building cages for my bearded dragons. It's all one unit with 3 cages inside. I put down ceramic tile because it would be better for heating. Anyway, I realized when looking at pictures of things, it would have been really smart to put wheel on it. 3 of the the corners where these would attach are not tiled
yet. However, the back right corner does have tile on it already. So, I was wondering if it is still possible to add them on. Am I pretty much out of luck, or should I pick up some wheels when I return to the store to buy the rest of the supplies?

I don't know if I'm reading that correctly, if the tile is on the inside you will not have a problem if your screws are not to long. If the tile is on the outside bottom of the enclosure, it is not to difficult to drill through it with a masonry drill bit. You could also buy an epoxy and weld the caster base to the tile. Epoxies being many times stronger than glue. Where theres a will there is a way. By the way casters are a very good idea. Hope this helps, Clint.
