Guinygirlz' not-so-New Cage (DIY)

Slave is pretty sure we posted this before, but maybe slave is just affected by the heat here, cause
we can't find a post about our not so new cage on our blog... So here it is!
We have been enjoying this cage for quite some time now!

---

Our daddy slave has been quite busy lately with a big piece of wood, and many smaller pieces, nails, glue and corner profiles...

So a small preview of our new cage and how it is being made

This is the big piece of wood, it measures around 122 by 125 cms (around 48" by 49")

Dad was clever and used spare Ikea shelves
(slaves used glass shelves in part of their closet)

Here you can see the frame of Ikea shelves together,
which is going to support our new cage,
in the sides slaves can store boxes of pellets, hay and bedding

This is it on top of the smaller pieces of wood, and
maybe the shelve frame (we can't see for sure)

Here strips were glued in the openings,
to hold the pieces of plexiglass (hobby glass)

This is how the cage looks by now, all front strips are in place...

...Should be finished soon, right?
Slave has shared this video before, but maybe you wouldn't mind seeing our cute faces again?
Woopy enters first, followed by Lily, Daisy and Roos. Mind you it's a pretty long video...
And the finished cage, here we get to be in there for the first time:

  3. When you posted the video in October last year, there was just a description of how the cage was built but no pictures so this is a splendid addition. What a fancy cage - so much more interesting than the four mesh panels sewn together that Slave makes for us. She does her best but she is no good at woodworking. We do have lots of space though.

    We love seeing the video again, especially the part where each fuzzy lady is added to the cage and sets off to explore.
