I would love to see pics of some of your enclosures to spark some ideas. If you have any pics please post them. Thanks

Thanks, and yes. I built it last night out of some old screens and some other stuff I had laying around.Looks pretty boss! did you build it yourself?
I was going to add more sticks but I don't want to over crowd the cage. I only have one shot with these and if any of the two I'm getting have shedding problems my chance of breeding them will be shot.Looks great. If you add a lot more sticks, it will be even better. Make sure you have plenty of bluebottles in there, its a big cage.
Yes, I think it's getting to the food...or getting enough in. Let's say that dimensionally the cage is 2x 'too big' in all directions. That would be 8 times the volume and 4 times the surface area. Either way I look at it, I would rather not increase the feeder load by that much. It's surmountable, but taxing on resources.I gotta ask - why is there concern about a cage being too big?They live just fine outside in the open. Is the problem getting to the food?
If that's all, then is that surmoutable by simply putting in MORE food, to increase the concentration?
Sorry if this is s dumb question...
