i was going to post this is 'corn related DIY' but it is locked.
so, i am planning on getting a hatchie (sometime) but i have a problem:
a faun or rub isnt much good as my hatchie's home will sit quite closely into some shelves. so not much room to access things from above - about 5cms.
i was going to buy a 3ft viv and partition it but dont have the funds right now.
i have some conti board in the garage so i have designed a viv about the same size as a faunarium. that way it can sit on my shelves and i can have front access.
anyway, my plans are drawn to scale and i thought i would share them incase anyone is interested. it is designed to house a 6"x11" heatmat. pretty standard stuff but it may be of use to someone.

its perspex, 4mm. it will be drilled and bolted (neat rounded end facing inwards).
i think this will be more secure than runners for a tiny hatchie. my wife has big fears of escape! plus i like that i will have easy access to all the viv at once for cleaning etc. its only a small viv, 45cm long so runners would be a little fiddly i think.
the top latches arent drawn very well, they are simple turn buttons. i will have 2 small pieces of dowel on the inside (one at both sides) to stop the perspex falling into the viv. hope that makes sense!

how are you going to fix the hinges to the glass/perspex? runners seem more simple. |
