Hannah -- Its pretty heavy but not too bad. My wire is vinyl coated metal chicken wire. What I did was just cut out the doors off the wire. On the pics, where you see the white string type stuff is where the doors are. But because it is wire, I am afraid that anything I use to close it will still kind of bend since it is wire. What I did was use more wire and zip tie it on one side and I just used pipe cleaners to close it for now, but that would be kind of a pain to do all the time. I though about maybe using velcro.
Kyro -- hmmmm I had grem done quite a while back. Regan ALWAYS has the curled up scorpion tail! She is funny that way!
