thankyou
well what started the whole thing is that i hated the wire on the bottom of cages and the look and that fact that when i had a bunny i had one of those and scratched my leg really good on the corner of it and I got the inspiration of the design from my hex corner fish tank and my brother is a carpenter and I knew that he would help me. well i used pine plywood for the floor and for the sides i used 2 inch pieces of wood that were in the discount part of that isle mostly pine and oak and i like the dark finish so i stained it dark and put several clear coats on it and a lot on the bottom i also hated how the pine shavings would fly out and the droppings that is why i made the bottom a lot deeper than usual. i also put the wire on the inside and made sure that it completly covered the intire inside of the sides to prevent them from gnawing on the wood and i used a lot of staples so they wouldn't get hurt on any of the edges and this way there wouldn't be any way for them to pull up any of the wire to hurt them selves. I would lie to build one for my ferret but i am not sure if my brother is ready for another project like that this soon
