How many holes should you have? And how big would I get for a litttle maccie? I think I've seen them at Howards Storage World...
PS that is THE CUTEST click clack arrangement on the first page, with the pill box hide - with the printed kitchen towel it looks like a nursery for a baby chicken or something LOL! |

As for holes you just want enough to ventilate theres no certain number.
Contemplating moving him into a bigger one soon i have one that i stick him in just while i clean his out but the lid doesn't click on it just sits there and i'm sure he could push it off if i left him in it full time, anyone know a way to solve this or will i just have to buy another? |

They can be a bit pricey though. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-07 Location: Hawthorn, VIC Age/Gender: 24 | | | Ahh thanks for that - I don't mind pricey if it's what we need (if you can't afford to look after an animal properly don't get it and all that LOL), and since a Click Clack is much cheaper than a big enclosure it's ok
I assume I need a thermometer at the cool end too?? What do I do if the cool end is over 30 (eg super hot day)? |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-04 Location: Gold Coast, Australia Age/Gender: 19 | | | Hey everyone, sorry to hijack this thread, but speaking of click-clacks... I'm getting an Olive hatchy soon , and I cant decide what size enclosure to get- I'm tossing up between two click-clack type containers; one is 600Wx390Dx300H, and the other is 600Wx440Dx170H. So basically, should I go the bigger floor space, or more height?
Cheers,
Adam

I'm keeping hatchy olives in 7 litre Sistema tubs at the moment. I am about to upgrade them to underbed storers, which measure around 80cm x 40cm x 15cm.

There's a small 4watt heat mat in the end where the black hide is. I took out the brown bowl because it was a bit big. I now have a small tea light candle holder in there. | | |
