Okay, we bought our enclosure second hand, and have recently discovered that our beloved Hermione likes to stick her snout up through the 'wire' where the UV light goes.
Its just wide enough for her to fit her snout through up about a centimetre or so, and it seems to be starting to leave a little mark on her snout on the sides.
Now, the problem is....the way the enclosure was constructed means they've 'inserted' the UV light 'cavity' into the enclosure, then nailed the top down over it. SO without completely demolishing it, its difficult to change the wire to smaller guage, and covering it from the top is useless as she can still stick her snout into it.
And because the heat 'light' is in a 'bucket' type thing in the front of the cage (its a really stupidly designed cage really) and the wire is nailed on with thin strips of wood, without demolishing the enclosure its hard to fix the wire problem.
We can't afford right now to buy a new enclosure, we just need a temporary fix. Anyone got any ideas?
