Default 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!
