All of the blue and grey fleece toys and the cage are homemade. We just got the wheel yesterday and he is already loving it!

So excited to have everything done! He also has a ball pit (Easter Eggs) and a tunnel that aren't pictured because they were being cleaned.

Awesome! This is off topic but I love the three colors on the walls. That gives me an an idea for my daughters slanted ceilings. I love the stickers on the kitchen too. :)

Thanks! My grandma made me a comforter set and I couldn't decide which color to go with, so now 2 walls are blue and 2 are brown :)

Very nice, I love the set up & I think it's real cool the way you made the cage door, one big one to really get to anything & everything, and then the little doors within to quick access for small stuff. It's a well thought out design overall and furnished very nicely. Lucky glider!

He will be even happier once he gets his cage mate in November :)

I can't wait to introduce them and have 2 happy gliders instead of one lonely but spoiled little guy!!!

Wow very nice!

I'm also going to try to make a PVC cage. If you don't mind I have a few questions?
How much did it cost?
Is it easy to make?
And do you have instructions on how to make one?
Thanks.

Anyways, fantastic job on your cage and toys! I love the glider kitchen too.

My dad did most of it. I really was just the helper. I gave him a sketch of what I wanted and the size (4 ft tall X 2 ft X 2 ft) and we researched safe materials. The PVC isn't glued or anything and then we just used plastic mesh and held that together by zip ties. The doors have hinges and you can see the little doors clips there. On the big door we used eye hooks. You can kind of see them in the picture labeled full door open. There is a wood base with one open side. There is plastic mesh across the floor for the droppings to fall through and we used a sheet of plexiglas to catch the droppings from hitting the wood. We drilled holes in the wood to put the 4 main pieces of PVC through which keeps it sturdy.

I will try to make a journal on it, but I'm new here so it might take me a few tries to figure it out. It was around 180 all together.

It only took us a week and a half just working on it a little each night after dinner.

This is the website where I got the idea to make one. They didn't use PVC though. I just kind of got my sketch from it. We would've gone taller but it wouldn't fit in my room with the slanted ceilings.

The breeder gave them to me when I got him in a care/starter package. There's a third one too that is brown and has a cooler shape. I keep it in his travel cage though in case of emergencies.

I think you can get them in the bird section of petsmart, but I am not sure.
