Suitable viv size?
So my older redfoot is starting to outgrown his viv and with my new addition I'm thinking of their next home. I will probably get it after Christmas then the new addition will have grown a bit and been quarantined for at least four months. My question is how long would a 6th by 2ft by 2ft viv last my two redfoots?

Well, I have a 6ft by 2ft vivarium and need to upgrade as its too small for my 11-12 inch leopard.
So I would say for 2 red foots, till they're about 7-9 inches. You could always just buy the biggest one you can, it will save you a few ££££ in the long run |

Try Wirral vivz (you can find him on facebook or on anoyjer reptile forum)
He's really cheap, you will either have to pick up the viv yourself or get a courier. |

Just saw they do a 9 x 2 x 2! I would love that one but pretty sure it won't fit in my house, think I should wait to get that one until I get a bigger house!

Yeah I think for now I will have to settle for the 6ft one, I may even be able to stretch to 7ft, I'll have to do some measuring up. Then when we finally move into a bigger house try and extend it or buy a bigger one. The prices on wirral viva are a lot cheaper than I was expecting, do you know if they come flat packed or ready assembled?

They come ready assembled
He's a great bloke and they are well built, I've had over 50kg of weight on top and it didn't even bend! |
