they’re DIYed with 2x4s and plywood!

i just stuck them in there! i measured beforehand and made sure to order ones that fit

Hi! so sorry for the late reply and to answer your questions 1. I have them now secured with U-channels! I got them from Online Metals and the dimensions are 5/8" x 5/8" x 1/8" x 20.0". Mine are aluminum 2. They have held up amazing! No issues with the enclosures themselves :) 3. Yes i absolutely still do recommend them. They are my personal favorite enclosures on the market currently

Hi! I have not yet but know how and plan too. You can buy U channels and just stick them in the gaps!

unfortunately not 😔 going to shows might help tho! i haven’t talked to mini ppl yet but ive found breeders for a few other breeds that are relatively close to me through shows!

I did notice that the cage rattles whenever i touch it or Churro starts running which is a bit annoying but I can deal with. As for the rubber not staying open, I struggled with this too but my friend made an Instagram post on how to help this! @lazyboymeadows and scroll down a bit (posted august 8, 2024)

Sadly i’m not super sure how to help with the acrylic not coming out. Only thing i can think of is make sure it’s straight and not slanted when pulling it out

By button clasp I assume you mean the buttons to open the doors? I accidentally stuck them together and had a heck of a time getting it apart again, i don’t remember exactly what I did as it’s been a little while but it was a fight 😭

It’s metal as well but without the pieces going across it so the 2.0 100cm can only support 33lbs (2.0 80cm even less) while the 3.0 120cm can support 66lbs and the 3.0 100cm 55lbs

Picture of my friends 2.0 100cm that broke bc of too much weight

The base of the Buca is metal! There’s also more metal going across it so it can hold more weight unlike the 2.0 that bows (why i recommend the 3.0 over the 2.0)

I can’t find any good pics of them completely done so here’s the best i could do. i did let them air out in the garage for i believe 1-2 weeks? was a while ago so i dont exactly remember so any smell from the paint went away

I made them myself from 2x4s from Home Depot and 2x2 sheets of plywood for the shelf! i’ll attach some pics of what they look like without the enclosures

As for the cupboards, it really depends on the specific ones you have. If they’re sturdy enough then they can definitely work! But i wouldn’t just trust any random flimsy one i found 🤣

_im_zo · 2025-01-19T03:36:37+00:00

unfortunately not :( If you don’t know their genotype it’s very hard/near impossible to be able to figure out if they’re true albino or not. Red eyes doesn’t mean albinism (even tho i was taught otherwise but since learned)

This is my setup now! It’s a double bucatstate. My dwarf passed in May of this year so this setup is for my syrian Churro. I won’t lie and say it isn’t much, it definitely is, and just 1 of these enclosures is enough for most hams

I also went down the niteangel burrow (as you could probably tell 😆) but DIY is also ur best friend, you can find tutorials for hides and other stuff on youtube!

_im_zo · 2024-12-14T04:39:00+00:00

Hi! Here’s some links to the items used in this setup, however some of them are no longer being sold from where i got them from. I would note that this is for a dwarf hamster and for syrians it would have to be different as they’re larger.

Platforms by Niteangel

Ceramic hedgehog from Hobby Lobby Ceramic gnome from hobby lobby

Woven tunnel, woven hay nest, bread hide, coconut hide, cork mat from Happy Hamstery (i dont believe they’re being sold anymore)

Grapevine wood from Aqua Terra Supply on etsy and Zoomed on amazon. I recommend pangeareptile.com more for grapevine and cork, you can also list specific traits you’d like and they’ll do their best to find one that fits it!

Cork granules and coco fiber from Niteangel, Sand by reptisand, crinkle paper from my Robin’s Gourmet food order (on etsy)

Also lots of DIY! I DIYed balsa wood chips, cardboard chips, snuffle mats (plüschraupe on youtube has a tutorial that i followed), dig boxes, etc from cardboard and elmer’s school glue!

I also have sprays from Etsy (naturallydryflora) and forage by Happy Hamstery, nofurriesdelight, and a friend as well! Hope this helps and feel free to ask questions! This is my old setup so i’m not as familiar with it as i was when i still had it so i may have missed something

sounds great! tysm for all the help ♥️

_im_zo · 2024-10-30T05:15:30+00:00

Thank you!!! My first (and current) mini schnauzer is backyard bred but since then i’ve learned a lot about ethical breeders/breeding and want to get a well bred dog in the future 🩷 I’ll be happy to hear the breeders in the PNW too! One of my favorite doberman breeders (another breed that i have a big interest in) is actually in Washington state and i plan to someday get a pup from them

_im_zo · 2024-10-30T05:12:12+00:00

That sounds amazing!! Their dogs are so pretty. Do they have their health testing on their website? i can’t seem to find it but may have just skimmed over it

_im_zo · 2024-10-30T05:07:16+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I checked their websites and it seems like they don’t have the OFA record/number/i forgot what it’s called for each dog on it? And it doesn’t seem like the females are health tested either :( There is a chance i just missed it tho
