Go to the Poundland near you, they are selling hanging baskets that I just bought and cut a hole in, for a pound, obviously, and it looks like a big ol' teepee X33 Its FANTASTIC!! Looks REALLY nice in Widget's viv, and as soon as I put in, he was straight in there. They have wide round ones, pyramidal ones, though be careful as some have some really nasty cut wires that lead out of a drain-hole. If you get the complete ones, they don't have that sharp wire edge, and are thus safe ^^ I'll get a picture of mine later on if you like! Otherwise, reed bird-boxes from Homebase, again look like a teepee, are only £2.49 and look fantastic! Then there are plastic plant pots that you can transform. You don't need to pay through the nose for expensive caves and hides when you can transform other objects into great hides ^^

I BELIEVE they are online ^^ Just search on Google, and I'm sure you can get to it there. Wilkinson is also supposed to be really good for things you can change into hides. Lemme go take a few pics of Ripley's and Widget's vivs. Widget also has a cave, but that was gifted to me by the lovely previous owner of Conan, who also has some funky steps that are from T-Rex I believe. He only sleeps on those. I'll put the photos up in the Photo area in about an hour! I need to get them all out for a run anyway! Gives me a reason to go do it X3

Possibly? I think those, however are a bit like a rug over a hard reed hanging basket! I'm just uploading the photos I have, but I've found some links here too:

http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=470708&Trail=searchtext%3EBIRD+BOX
This is what is in Ripley's viv - he LOVES it! Sleeps in it, sleep under, scrambles about all over it XDD

http://www.poundland.co.uk/product-range/a-z/pyramid-hanging-basket/
This is what I have for Widget. I took out the chains (REALLY easy to do, they just unclip) and then cut a hole in the side.

http://www.poundland.co.uk/product-range/a-z/circular-hanging-basket/
This is the one I was saying had the drainage hole in the bottom that had REALLY rough wire cuts there.

Hope these help ^^ Uploading photos right now to show off ^^
