very nice looking cage...the color of the tile makes it look almost natural, unlike mine...i got bargain basement white tile with blue trim. stuck out so bad i had to cover it with a fake background. anyway, great job!

Very Nice! Does that double as a coffee table or what? What are your dimensions?

You did a very good job on that cage.I really like the tile.I guess some people don't know what a real coffing looks like.I would know I used to have my own business selling them.Don't worry your cage doesn't look any thing like a coffing.I know how you can hide that silicone icon_biggrin.gif .You can put more silicone on top of the old one and than glue something on there like fake plants or a rock wall icon_lol.gif icon_wink.gif .

i really dont think that much height is needed, although they will stand or jump up from time to time, otherwise mine keeps mostly low to the ground, but its nice to have some higher elevated levels throughout the cage .

Hey marty your cage is truly amazing and I have a carpenter friend who is trying to replicate it minus my own minor details. I was wondering if you would be willing to take some NEW updated photos showing every inch and corner of the cage for visual refrence? My email is spencer.yeagley@yahoo.com I would SUPER appreciate it!!!

Great enclosure you made! Your buddie must be really happy! Btw I read everyone's dimension are 8x4x4, those are in feet? Then that means 2.4x1.2x1.2 meters, and that's huge! My own room is 2.5x2.5 haha! Thanks God Juancho is always free roaming the house and grandma's garden! icon_biggrin.gif
