Thanks

,
Ya I made it myself with a little help from my step dad. It took a bit over 2 months ( not the handiest person in the world lol). It's malimine wood that measures 4 feet long by 2 feet wide and 15 inches to make heating easyer.
Hmm I've never heard anything bad about using sliding doors but I know how good they can be little escape artists. Its pretty tight though so I think it should be fine, I've observed her attempting to get out before without any luck.
The 45 gal long sounds perfect as long as you can provide adiquet ( sorry bad spelling) go as big as you can afford

.
Hope you have lots of fun with your new corn
Best of luck with him in the future

Cheers
