Cute! My male likes to climb on the decor. The hen hasn't figured out she can yet.
These bin cages are great for all small pets, can't beat the price even if you have to buy wire. They are not *hard* to make per se, but a little tedious, and a little risky that the plastic will not cut nicely and will crack. I measured the wire panels and then drew a rectangle about the same dimensions but half an inch shorter on every angle and then began the cuts with a sharp kitchen knife. This is the hardest part and the one most likely to create a crack that you don't want. In this case, my only crack was to the right of the front panel, but it does not destroy the strength of the cage. I have made these before for rodents, and once had a crack go all the way across and destroy the bin. That sucked!
Once I cut a couple inch line with the knife, I used tin shears to easily cut the rest of the windows out. To attach the wire I used zipties. I took a high-temp hot glue gun, with no glue in it, and used it as a crude soldering iron to melt small holes half an inch to the side of the window, every five or six inches on all sides. This let me thread the zipties through and secure the mesh over the openings. Repeat for the lid, and to make a little hole to stick the water bottle spigot and mounting hooks through.
They really like the fake leaves for cover, and it makes the cage prettier. I still have to come up with a dust bath.
Oh what do you feed yours
@mixedUPturk ? I got game bird crumble for mine, and they asked me at the shop if I wanted 20 or 24% protein. I got the 20, though I then read they need a bit more than that, so I give them some boiled egg every morning to balance it out. They also enjoy broccoli, a little finch seed, and the pesky little green caterpillars that live on my broccoli plants!
