I have created a monster !! LOL - Olive ( who I used to call the vine LUMP because she never moved, will now pace her cage all day until she goes to the outdoor f/r - ) I am getting ready to build my big outdoor cage, but I would like some advice on a few things.... I can make it w/ screen or 1/4 " wire- the only issue w/ the wire is bees and other bugs can get in - but the screen I don't trust that something will not chew threw it- I kinda wanted to use the screen to keep the feeders in , but the wire is stronger - safety is my other issue - IFFF I decide to leave them out over night I want them to be safe- the cage is going to be at least 10 foot X 10' X 6' high, OR a 10' X 20' - I also had a question on electric fence near it - I KNOW the horses can " feel" it on - they will go up to it, and if it is on, they turn away- if it is off- they will stick their heads right threw and graze - like a horsey sonar - lol
If I end up letting them stay out 24/7 - I will run a few hot wires about 1' out from the base of the cage - 4" apart, 3' high - ( we have critters at night ) do you think this will bother them? or am i just best to run the whole clan in and out every morning, and every night to their F/R's ( i have 8 chams , but not all will go out and stay in this , this will be for Olive and Oliver mostly ,my Jax X ) I want to make the same thing for my panther, but only a 4' X 10'
