Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Custom cage building?!?!
Im just wondering what material would make for a good sturdy cage that would be easy to clean and manage. Im thinking about using melamine wood. if anyone has any other suggestions, this would be very helpful.

cages
We have built cages out of melamine with great success. I have 13 so far. They stack great and look good as well. We put formica on the front just for an extra kick. The first one was built about 2 or 3 years ago and still look like new. Also very econimical.

Here's a pic of the melamine cages we build. They are heavy as hell but we'll never have to replace them. Cleaning them is a breeze.

Hey Mike nice cage. When I made my melamine cage it did not look that good. I wish I had the right tools to make mine look that as nice.

No, the doors are 1/4" glass.
The design is real simple but they will last a life time. Realistically it's nothing more than box for them to poop in. Why waste time and money on bells and whistles, right???

Mike do you have more pics of your cage? Like the side etc. Is the glass tempered? What did you use to hide the unfinished ends of the melamine?
