hey guys im starting to think about the adult enclosures for my two babies charlie (blonde mac) and george (murray darling) but im not entirely sure on the sizes. from what ive read i gather charlie will be max 1.5m and george 2m so if i halve that would that mean i should use a 3ft and 4ft respectively. maybe? also what width and depth should they be? both of them spend their time on the ground so im thinking that i need to worry more about length than height but still not sure. any tips on what you think or whatu have ur babies in would be really helpful. thanks |
