For the wheels are you guys making holes on it? To add the zip ties? If so how? A drill?

I am. I think my husband uses a drill to make the holes. I don't see another way.

Yep! Here’s a close up: we drilled small pairs of holes, attached the inner that way, and then used the zip tie itself to attach the outer. Mine got a touch out of alignment so ignore that part, but here are a cpl pics. And yes to a wheel! Mine love theirs- Billy sleeps in it most days and they use it all night into the morning.

Thanks y'all. I only have a 10 gal for now, and I keep wondering if I can add a wheel. We have a drill so my boyfriend can do the handy work

I really want one for my little ones

10 gallon tanks are a little challenging to build because of being tight on space. To save some ground space you can get command hooks and hang the base upside down. Then you can also add some craft mesh to the base and have a small second level too.

Yes wheels! Crab mesh is amazing and they love it!

Yes, a drill is the easiest way to make the holes
