Hi everyone, im a newbie on here...
first of all, Is it ok to buy a 2 level rabbit hutch, cut the middle part out and have it as a home for a baby iggy? obviously within a year i'll be getting a really big tank made for the iggy.
also, if it is ok, how would you go about doing the lighting? because these rabbit hutchs have a thick roof, normally with ashfelt on the top for the weather. (obviously mine wont be outside)
do you think i can take the roof off and put mesh wire across the top?
also, any of you guys using a rabbit hutch as a cage for an iggy?

Hello, Welcome!!!  As for a rabbit hutch.. I have never saw the one your refering to so I wouldn't know anything about it. BUT for a baby iguana MOST things will work. Until they are a year old. For example a 50gal. aquarium with a screened in top would house a hatchling iguana for about a year. I'm thinking that your rabbit hutch would work... Do you know the measurements of it? Height, width and length? Cutting the top off would work. Putting heavy wire mesh on the top, NOT chicken wire or anything like that would work. Could you maybe attach a photo or the url to the hutch you were thinking of getting. I'm sure since you are aware that it will probably only work for one year.. that iguana's need a lot of space. Are you familiar with proper diet and proper UV? I'm assuming you know about lighting because you mentioned it Which is great!! Welcome once again and hope to hear back from you |

thanks for the reply chamzilla,
i didnt bother with the rabbit hutch, i went all out and got myself a 6ft tall x 4ft wide x 3ft deep cage, i dont have it yet because im having it modified so it has wood sides and back with mesh on top and front.
yes i know 90% of what i need to know about iguana's and lighting ect ect.
i just cant wait to get it home and get it set up for my iggy (which i aint got yet).
chamzilla any chance i can add you on msn so i can chat to you about a few things.
