I would get the cage built but keep the hatchie in one of those plastic "pet habitat" enclosure until it is bigger. Depending on how you construct your timber enclosure you may find gaps small enough for a hatchie to escape (between sliding doors etc). Unless you put heaps of hides in your timber enclosure a hatchie may feel a little exposed in a cage that size, and with heaps of hides it becomes a pain to "find" the little guy. Otherwise it sounds OK. Depending on what sort of "timber" you have sourced you may find that if you went larger the cost shouldnt change because of standard sheet sizes, as long as you keep dimensions divisible by O/A size. Say increase the 1500 anywhere up to 2400 whilst maintaining the 600, or reduce the 1500 to 1200 and increase the 600 anywhere up to 1200. I hope this dribble makes sense? :wink:
