Not content with having Honey's cardboard hide box in her dig box, I wanted to increase her cardboard chewing opportunities & add climbing without reducing the space in her pen for running etc. I call the result Honey's Habitat. The structure is made from metal grates fastened together with zip ties, but the outside sheathing is a tube [if tubes can be rectangular] of cardboard so she can enlarge the doors & windows. Of course the cardboard can be replaced by just lifting it out & putting in a new one. My main problem is that Honey is so eager to get at a new cardboard tube that it's hard for me to get it in place properly.
I came across these wire grid panels from Omahafixture.com in a post from BugLady. [Thank you!] They come in 4 sizes: 16"x10", 10"x10", 14"x14", and quarter rounds 14" on each straight side. I made a 22"x20"x16"[sub] [/sub]high structure to fit into a 24"x22"x22" cardboard box for $13.60 plus $5 shipping [flat rate; free if ordering $100+. I placed it over Honey's dig box, so it doesn't need a floor to stabilize it. A floor would add another $5.20 [if made of 4 quarter rounds]. Then add the cost of cardboard boxes & flooring material, which I'll get to later.
