    Default Achilles finally has his new home

    I'm petrified of starting the of building a new enclosure, but it has to be done. I've read through many of the posts (thank goodness) and if I can get one to look half as good as a lot of these I'll be happy! My question is in regards to the sliding doors, has any one had any issues of escaping with those doors since they often don't have locks? I'm still deciding on the front door and what set up but I'm hoping to start my framing this week.
    thanx, Cindi

    I have had my Colombian open his sliding door because it slides quite easily. All my cages have sliding doors. The others are heavier. The biggest ones have a hole drilled in the glass and the enclosure frame so that they can be locked.

    Ok, I was thinking it had to be a possibility. I'm still deciding between sliding or fold down doors. Decisions, decisions. I am happy that the beginning of the frame work is coming along.

    Here were my adventures from today, it was a good start and helped me and my husband feel like this is doable!

    needless to say the dogs felt they were very much part of the project...
