Though not ideal polyboxes are a good source as pet shops give these away for nothing, they would only have to pay for them to be disposed of otherwise. Cut them down and use a peice of hardboard and you can then make it as long as you need it to be. |

I bought a hot wire cutter aswell from ebay, they are fab BUT the one I bought needs a 4.5v battery which is no longer in production.
So had to modify it a bit to take 3 AA....just so you know in case it's the same  _________________ www.ratsnakefoundation.org |
