I want to Contruct an Acrylic Cage and I have a Question

hotblack · Oct 24, 2006

OK so the Idea is to make an enclosure thats 4' x 4' square for 2 pigs, I am considering making it from Coro and Acrylic, is this not a good Idea? I am curious as to wether or not having an open top will provide enough ventalation or if I should drill a buttload of hole in the acrylic.
Thanks Guys

All I know is that it will be one expensive cage if you don't have the acrylic already or an inside source.

But yes, I would drill away. I don't think an open top would allow for much of an air current to bring in fresh air and wisk away not so fresh air.

That'll do it. I just remember how much my husband's acrylic computer case cost us. It was way over priced!

I'd still drill lots of ventalation holes. Make sure to sand the holes smooth too. You don't want the piggies eating those little plastic shavings that tend to stick to where it's cut.

I use MAAP (gas you can get at the hardware store but use the right torch handle) to soften all the edges on custom acrylic aquariums. You just have to go very fast.
