I'll still be making little tweaks and adding/changing pics, but, for the most part, the new tutorial is all done!

justforfuzzies.com/Other_Stuff/Cage/index.html

I'll be adding how to make a wheeled-platform and shelves as well, once I can get some made. :P And, of course, additional sizes will also be added as I convert the measurements and get them all drawn up on Paint. I plan on adding 2'x3'x3' and a 2'x3'x4' cage measurements in the near future. If you would like different measurements, feel free to PM me and I'll try and get them done what I can. ;)

Don't forget to post pics of the cages once you get them built! :)

*If there are any mistakes in the tutorial or changes you think should be made, please let me know!

Oh yeah, here are pics of the "new and improved" cage. I'm almost done putting the mesh on it(I'm 1' short because I used some of the mesh for a different project, lol) so hopefully I'll have final pics in a day or 2). ;)

Ourgirlz2, what kinda of hardware mesh did you use? I think I might put together a list of safe metal mashes to use on my site so that if people are looking for something more durable then they can use that instead.

the mesh is made by landware and it is epoxy coated wire you can pick it up at menards and talked with a sugar glider owner who happened to work at menards the epoxy coating is not sprayed on it is baked on and that makes all the difference as far as being safe or not most use a spray on epoxy where this company does not it is baked on it can be found by the galvanized hardware cloth i will warn you it is a little expensive it is 10 dollars for a 8ft roll comes in all the standard widths and the only color i have seen it here is green
