If you can watch the animation, do watch it hahah... That's my favourite Disney animation and that pic is a painting by me The show is called Lilo and Stitch.

Anyway, looks like your future gliders would have the best ever cage! I wish I could do that.... Get the thickest plastic mesh that you could find, and staple it to the timber frame. Then if one day the mesh breaks, you can just take out the staples and replace a new mesh.... I think that's easy hehehehe. No need to worry about rust or poisoning.

err . i still got caren's cage .. its abit bigger than the normal rm100 cage at pet safari. she paid for it but never did take it . pm her but no answer .. hun .. can u give me her number ? if she dont want it , maybe can sell it to other ppl. the cage just collecting dust in my room

i use Tee and end cap for the forth corner. use a self tapping screw to fix the End Cap to the Tee.



stich and marsupalami is cartoon lorr ..

even u used the galvanised mesh, it will rust also . thats why i use plastic net .

wah . syiok la ur suggies .. i wish i had an extra room .. now i can make my cage bigger since my ferret died .. nothing can kacau them anymore ..err . except my cat la ..which afraid of chika .

do post some pictures when it finished

Yes, RM488 is super expensive, plus the suggies at PW are mostly adults, do be careful.



Yes, Gizmo is the original one.

Gremlins popped out when water was spilled on Gizmo.

Gremlins die when exposed to lights.

Haha, that's the summary

Anyway, Gizmo is no match for Stitch as the character of Stitch is actually based on Sugar Gliders So Stitch is the closest resemblance to a suggie



Haha, like what I mentioned above, Gizmo doesn't look like suggies, Stitch does!

Stitch's character is based on suggies.

Look at the eyes, ears, hands and claw, the way he moves up on the wall with all four feets, how he is known as Lilo's weird dog(becuz suggies bark too!) and the way he makes those weird growling noises when facing threats just like a suggie crabbing

The nose does have a suggie shape nose, except it is made larger. And ofcourse the tail is made shorter in the character so that it would not obstruct his movement

I love Lilo & Stitch sooo much too! Watched the movies, series and played it's games, haha

Oh yeah, I have to agree with CFP, the tail does remind me of that marsupilami which I think is created based on a marsupial too



Stitch is a blue alien cartoon in Lilo & Stitch, while marsupilami is a yellow polka dot cartoon character with the longest tail ever!

Hahaha I love cartoons!

Okay, about the mesh, most of us here would recommend and use those PVC mesh with square holes appx. 1/2" x 1/2". They have smaller squares too, but it's too small to even put a mealworm thru. It comes in black, grey or green color. I don't think suggies are actually able to chew out of the PVC mesh as I have never heard or experience such cases.

This is how it looks like(similarly), http://www.mcnichols.com/products/wiremesh...nylmesh_big.gif

Comparing galvanized mesh and coated mesh, I'd say coated are better. The coated ones we have here are only green in color.

This is how it looks like, http://www.jdswiremesh.com/images/DHW06.jpg

Hope it helps


KP

the red one using the T ..how about the yellow one?? T + L? ~ or have the T one but one leg is rounded corner? ahhha..must planning like architec lols..

The ones circled in yellow tu is using an L connector with end caps screwed to it with taper screws

Adding end caps can create 3 way connector or even 4 way connector

Yeah, DIY a cage needs proper planning and a blue print too

Haha


KP

haha .. stich rules !

anyway , about ur confusing .. i will post closer photo .. right now , had to clean the cage .. smelly edi ..

yaa please zooming the pic at the yellow part .. and details about "end caps screwed to it with taper screws" ahaha..

Hehe My Avatar got there

Wow does anyone already start the DIY Cage?

coldfusionpower may i know the wire frame web, is it easy stain after wash?

Thanks everyone for the info on the netting - will check to see how strong it is . i dont know if the quality here would be as good as the quality in malaysia. As I will have to put a door onthe entrance to the room the gliders wont be able to get out anyway.

Yes KP I remember now that it was the water that caused GIZMO to become a gremlin.

Lovely painting Hun - i actually thought the painting was a scan or a photo out of a book. I do remember the movie although cant say I saw it. If i see it at one of the DVD outlets I'll get a copy. Yes I can see the resemblance between "Stitch" & a suggie

Now all talking about DIY cage, now I feel like doing hahahah.... but must figure out space first loh.....

Ai, my gliders are so naughty, I forgot to cage Kapi and Kiah, at night they turned my room upside down, lots of my things were on the floor.... then they woke me up by barking LOL.

Did you scold them !!!!. What do your parents think of having a zoo in the house or are they oblivious to having one ??????
If you think my future cage is good I suggest you see the cages (enclosures) at Taronga's Nocturnal house. The ones for the gliders are sparsely decorated to allow them to glide whilst the ones for the feathertail's are like a eucalypt forest - really densly packed which is apparantly what they like.

Hahah... I don't think they understand if I scold them. It was back into their cages.... they like to free roam and are like demanding little monsters hahahh.... I'll get some pics once I get my camera back.... my current cam, I just lost my cable so can't load the pics....

ok here it is ...

Last time I did a very detailed blueprint (yep, diy sucker here XP), but when I go to Ace Hardware store they dont have the 4-way connector things. Mine is the coated green one.

I dunno whether to make new one or to buy new one. really busy nowadays.. no time

tq CFP ~ understood ~

I remember last time i forget close the cage door and my Ah Pit just come out play around.... After that.... I'm the guy who scold by mum... because of Ah Pit break my mum a small piece jade....

haha .. i dont know why ... my chika like to take a dive inside a glass of milo ..

anyone here got some bad habit like me ? sometimes, when i bring them in pouch, i kacau them and sniff sniff the pouch

anyway, i hv a cage to let go . its diy so its lot perfect yaa .. more detail , check my siggy

sorry for the mess.


@sense_less : diy sucker ? haha dont say like that laa. just say .. ermm. unique hobby. LOL ..u dont need a blueprint for diy. most of my diy are in my mind. i got most idea when i'm trying to sleep ..

Haha, yeah, now I also feel like DIY also... But I want to able to carry it in and out the bathroom easily as I clean/wash the cage every week

Almost giving up lah on the cage hunt, those distributors are not helpful at all The pictures in the catalogues are just to temp people

Haha, so Kiah and Kapi had a ball of a night last nite

Mine barked too last nite but I was too lazy to get out of bad to check on them...



Haha, me too!

Since I carry the pouch around my neck, I always like to massage them from outside the pouch, pick up the pouch and kiss it from outside, rub it on my cheeks, talk to it and so on... Haha, sounds like a total nut case!!

What to do, so sayang them

Ohh, CFP, say the cage that you did for Caren, how heavy is it? Can it easily be carried around?


KP

haha .. now i know where did i picked up the bad habit .. from KP .. it's contagious ! run ppl run ! save ur live !

nah .. its really light .. can easily carry around..
