FAQ Questions and Answers
1. Q: How long does it take to ship?
A: Generally 2 weeks but ask when ordering as sometimes I can do better.

2. Q: How do your cages hold humidity?

5. Q: Do your racks have to use lids?
A: i can make them either way, but it's best to use the lids with wood. I can also use plastics for the shelves if lidless is required.

6. Q: Do your cages need to be sealed?
A: Yes, you should run a bead of silicone around the inside edege to prevent moisture from getting in the seams. The seams are extremely tight as they are all laser machined.
