Hugsta.... you seal and paint with an oil based gloss? I thought i would have to do that but after experimenting with this paint (water based) is seals the timber and wipes all stuff off fine. I made some rodent enclosures from MDF and painted. I hose it out once week and still no dramas with swelling in the timber.

I seal the timber first with a primer/sealer and then paint with a couple of coats of gloss. Seals up really well and is also easy to wipe clean.

How big is that anclosure for your scrubbies Tim??

 

[URS]

hugsta,

For the front of the cage we used sliding glass door with the glass window on the other side. They come in the frame and are quite easy to built a cage around. I am not at work to messure it but I think it is about 2 and a half meters across the front, two meter high and abount one and a half deep. If you want the exact size PM or email me and I will messure it up tomorrow when back down there.

No that's fine Tim, just a rough guess was all I was after. I was thinking of getting a pair of scrubs and wanted an idea of how much room they need. Your enclosure certainly looks big enough to keep them happy.

 

[URS]

hugsta the cage we have them is more than bigger anough, you would not need to go to that extream if you did not have the room mate.

No worries, thanks for that, I don't have the room for an enclosure of those proprtions so I hesitated on getting them. I wanted them but I also want to make sure I the room to house them.


Peter,

That looks awesome mate, must have cost you a pretty penny for all that glass though. Will be looking forward to the finished results. What are you going to be housing in it??
