Hi
Ive finnally decided to build the enclosure that was in the old Wiki, ive gone to bunning sorted what i needed now its come down to glass(lighting and heating already sorted). I was going to just get the glass and didnt think twice, thats with working on the instructions for that size enclosure, but was going to build a second one higher for a coastal, but now my dads saying that the glass can be broken easy at that size, its going to be a 4x4x2 enclosure. Hes worried bout my lil girl running into and smashing glass, but way i see it is that were the animals are she cant play near anyway, but still hes worried so I suggested perspex. He said that it can sometimes be hard to see through, but if I get straight clear should be ok, and its easier to get and cut, he said tho that its thinner, but to me thats not good as the tracks are 5mm and the perspex would move. but then at bunning they had acrylic(sp) im not sure if its the same thing, but it seemed to be flexible and bow a bit on its weight.
now here i need opinions, Im after what would cost more or less, easier to use, and whats safest in a sense or breakage, movement, and strength.
thanks heaps awaiting reply'
