Built a custom cage for my melleri Feedback!

I built a custom cage for my new melleri! I know im not the most handy man around but I think I did pretty good for about 4 hours of work! Its 5x3x3! Made of pvc and some plastic mesh! And then some bamboo and a fake ficus in there for now! Feedback!

If your melleri was wc it may stress out in a cage for a while. If you see it rubbing its snout and rostrals on the mesh, pawing at the mesh and climbing the walls much of the time and it doesn't settle down soon, you may need to make a bigger cage (this one is minimal for a melleri) or free range it. One thing I would do is try to raise the cage up higher. It will feel more secure.

Im going to move him to a different room! My rooms walls are slanted so the cage is just barely touching the walls. If I have to ill make it 6x4x4 with pvc.

I would also add, something to catch water at the bottom so you can mist heavily without worrying about water on the floor. They like and need frequent drinkings (not just misting the cage) a day. Also, keep an eye on him/her with the fake plants, my recent readings have documented them eating fake plants and getting compaction issues.

yeah i updated it i have a pretty large bin on the bottom since my moring mistings are 30 minutes to an hour!
