i use a small rubermaid toolbox for mine....just cut a small hole in front for a door, and drilled a few holes for ventilation....i tried a wood box as well, but found that if they go potty in the box it really makes a mess with wood....i just cut a hole in the side of the cage kinda high up just big enough for the box to fit into then used 20ga wire and another peice of the caging to make a little shelf for the box to sit on......then if you want to get into the box, all you have to do is slide it outta the hole in the cage and open it up...i am using t-shirts right now to line the nestbox,,,,but am thinking of going to cut up bed sheets shortly...seems like it'll be cheaper.
