Started my cage

[heebie_geebies]

Good day!

Well 19 more days until I get my cham from the Red Deer show. I figured it was about time I started his home. I was originally going to have a 4'x2'x4' cage. But while shopping at Home Depot, I did a quick "hold together of the pieces" for trial size. That thing would of been way to huge for the apartment I share with the fiance and her cat. So I down sized it to the highly recommended 2'x2'x4' cage. I got the top and bottom pretty much done tonight. Should be all done, but I found out the stapler I borrowed doesn't quite make it throught 1/4" laminated hardboard. More shopping is required to finish the rest of it.

The roll of mesh I got is "Multi-purpose net" from Home Depot. The holes of the mesh are 3/4"x1" and it is made of UV resistant plastic. Are the holes too big for a cham? I am getting a veiled, probably a juvenile. My other option was the similar plastic 1/2"x1/2" mesh, but I would think that is a bit of overkill. My door design can only accomidate plastic as the mesh needs to hinge as well. Metal mesh would end up snapping after X number of cycles. So metal hardware cloth won't do me any good. Any opinions before I open the roll, making it harder to exchange?

I attached a picture of my progress for your comments. It seems pictures are quite popular.
