Smart bunny is correct.

Lee, look forward to seeing the pictures. Ikea is my favourite shop of all time.
This is my vivarium converted from an Ikea Product. Even the glass is from Ikea.

Hi Lee the glass is

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10225626/#/30225625

There are so many combinations you can get from other products too.

Cheers Mark, the possibilities with Ikea products are endless. Saves a lot of money. If I was to re-make there would be a few adjustments to make. As always you learn as you go along.

Thanks WL, I thought it would be the glass shelves, they look ideal at £5 each and toughened with smooth edges! Where did you get the runners from, I've seen some cheap on Ebay.

Local Galzier, but you should be able to get them off eBay. You got to be careful though as the glass is 6mm thickness, I believe.

Where abouts u from. Ill get another wardrobe make on for you and sell u it. Ive got a friend who cuts my glass for very cheap.


A splendid offer but not that practical
Well now I believe there's a song about where I live *cough* clears throat;

"Oooo I can't read and I can't write-
But it don't matter-
Coz I come from the Isle Of Wight and:
I can drive a TRAKER*"

I'll just crawl back into my shame corner now .....
