Does anyone know how to add a second floor inside the tank?
Does anyone know how to add a second floor inside the tank?
I want to add an entire second floor inside the tank with an opening for a net or stairs with a railing so hermits can get up. Does anyone know what this would be called or if it exists?

I have used a wire shelf with craft mesh attached. I attach the shelf to the side with command strios. And use a bird ladder for them to climb.

Re: Does anyone know how to add a second floor inside the tank?
I used light diffusers from Lowe's on the rear wall and to make a second floor.
I zip tied the wheel onto the rear wall so the base was above the wheel. Then cut a narrow ledge as wide as the wheels base and made it extend out for a second level. I secured it all with zip ties.
On the other side of the tank I zip tied netting for the second level.

Really? Lol how does that work? (or are you being sarcastic?)
I have had pets in the past, but my family can’t have any furry or feathered ones due to allergies. I usually try my best to help and currently trying to set up a crabitat. I also try to treat others with Love!❤️

It hasn't been working very well! They knock over the toilet daily and still prefer to poop in the wheels, water and food dishes!
I saw the toilet at Petco and had to buy it! It's non functioning of course! Just being sarcastic!

It takes some time but isn't hard if you have a good set of diagonal cutters to cut the material. It has been holding up very well even the 20 gallon I did back at the beginning of the year has been doing great. No crabs have knocked over a wheel or got stuck behind it, yet.
