Help with making my own cage? - 03/19/15 07:33 PM
hey there!
I am interested in making my own cage the ones in store and online just don't appeal to me most are very tall but not very wide
A breeder I talked to said I could use pine wood but then I googled it and sites say not to use pine it is toxic to gliders it seems every time I find something I find 10 things saying not to
Many people say use pvc or pcv piping not sure which one it is looks like what you would find in the plumbing section at home depot but its not the look I am going for lol Im very picky this is why I would love to make my own but I want any materials I use to be completely safe for them! thanks so much in advanced to any help or info you guys give me!
Also my new glider hates water bottles ( recently found out the breeder I got her from did not use water bottles in her facility ) so I keep a bowl with water in her cage I am thinking about keeping a bowl in my other gliders cage also because I have not gotten one water bottle that does not leak like crazy I have to change the bedding every few days because it get soaked and sticks to the bottom of the tray any suggestions with this situation would be appreciated to!
