This is easy to answer and I thank you for allowing me to bring it up again, and again and again.
I came here with a new interest in hognose, I explained I was interested in keeping them in some way other then a rack system and I asked if anyone had experience doing that. I also asked about natural materials like the type they occur in.
I received nearly no response to my questions.
I then set out keeping them in large cages, small cages, deep sand, aspen, pine shavings, rack type cages, temp choices, and and at set temps. I gathered that information and then designed the cage type I want to use. And as posted, I am building it NOW.
As mentioned one thousand times, My aim and my goals, are based on hognose I see in nature, my mentors, are the hogs I see in nature. Not Joe joe the neighborhood hognose breeder(no offense).
My goals are to enjoy my captives, as I enjoy wild hogs. And to enjoy watching them in captivity and have the ability to LEARN from them. Not simply a hognose in a box that has no ability to do anything hognose. Please look up, read and understand what GOALS means.A goal is a desired result a person or a system "envisions", plans and commits to achieve a personal or organizational desired end-point in some sort of assumed development.
I set goals and the picture you posted was a step in the development in achieving those goals. Even this cage is not the end result, its the first(that leads to more) cages that will express, what I want to see.(I in this sentence is important, as it has nothing to do with you) pt1.
