Ok guys! Here is our hermie wheel!! I put it up with a 3M bathroom hook. Really didn't think it would be able to hang off of the corner guards with the weight of it. It was a bit heavier than I thought! But rearranged the tat a little to get it in the middle Image Thanks for all of your creativeness!! Crabby crafts are pretty fun (and addicting Image)! Lol!

Thanks Visual! The Mobani on the left I got from the HCP. The one on the right from PetSmart. I love the tall one although I've only seen 1 guy hang out there since we got it a couple of months ago:)

Will do! I think Mike somehow manipulated it because this morning the patch of sub I accidentally had on the top of the wheel when I put it up last night is now on the right side of the wheel this morning. Although no sub seen inside the wheel. Hoping to get a video of one of them on it!

Looks great Kermie16! I did my zip tie loops the other way, and made them only one square of the craft mesh so they are pretty much invisible. That way I used less, and it added less weight to the wheel.

Has anyone thought about using aquarium safe silicone to glue craft mesh to the wheel?

Honestly thought about it Just Jay, but I'm too impatient for a lot of things and to have to wait for the silicone to dry and no longer have a smell was going to be too long of a wait for me
