How did you figure out how to build it? Did you get directions from some one or a web site? I was wanting to build me a new cage so that I would have one for the outside. Im not to crafty but I think I could do it if I had some kind of an idea how to get started.

is it 36'' from the top to the ground or 36" from the top to bottom of the inside of the cage?

 

[kfactor]

the cage is 5' hight and from bottom of cage to the top for the cham is 3' tall for him if u get what i mean

 

[kfactor]

here is my bottom drain i made for my cage let me know if it will work good or is it a bad idea thanks and still got to grill the hole for drain

 

[kfactor]

well i got some more stuff done on my cage just waiting on a light for my cage then its all most done

 

[Ekproject]

You might think about putting some Eco Carpet or turf or something on the bottom. Those gaps look big enough your food is just going to fall through. get something that will allow the water through but leave the food behind. what kind of screening did you use? the gaps in it look bigger than what I have seen in the past.

 

[kfactor]

the floors not done yet but its just well as i call it egg crate and i was thinking of using some thin plastic for it

well my cage is complete now just need a cham am going to be ordering one in about 2 to 3 weeks time and i was just wondering i no ppl say not to use a big cage to start your cham off in but could i do it with out putting his health at risk or him. or i got a 24LX12"WX16"H tank with a screen top that am not using what do u guys recommend doing and i was thinking of trying cup feeding in my big cage thanks
