Cage designs?

Ryo Jun 23, 2005 04:46 PM

I'm going to be building a new custom cage my mali uro. I was wondering if anyone has any plans, designs, tips, materials, dimensionds, etc. to help me out along the process. Money isnt really an issue, but I would like it to be pretty simple and easy to maintain. Thanks ahead of time.

I noticed that the wooden walls of the enclosure I built help keep their nails down from the occasional wall-climbing:

I think the next substrate I will try is Carefresh pet bedding. The dirt is too dusty.

Here is what I have from when I built one.

If I were to do it again, I would not make it as tall for a mali, and I would use wood instead of plastic slides for the glass.

If I can be of help, just let me know!
