Yep! Ebay has the sheets and zip ties. Thank you again. I had no idea what that plastic was called.

Anytime

Hey Crabbers, been playing with my hamster wheel. The mesh doesnt seem to sit flush. It's in no danger of coming loose. But do you think crabs can/will push themselves under the mesh?

The zip ties hold it in place but there two fingers worth of space under the mesh.

I didnt bother clipping zip ties bc i didnt know if i was taking the whole thing apt.
Any advice on this? Ready to go or heck NO.

Drill holes between the ones you already have and add a few more zipties. Should solve your gap problem. Otherwise looks good!

Only a little bit of slack. I think it would be awful hard to get into any trouble with this

It spins freely and i think if i can keep it suspended, should work out.
We've been cleaning and moving furniture. The new tank is huge and we literally had to move our sofa to accommodate it along the wall i want it by.
My husband asked me if we were "redecorating the living room around the crabs?"

Of course we are

Wheel looks great!
