Southern Plantation Home by Kathy
This cage, full of Southern charm, features lush gardens, white picket fences, and windows to view the surroundings. Tex loves to jump up on the Fiddlesticks tunnel so a shelving panel was added to the top to keep him safely inside the cage. A second level is in the works and the photos will be added when it is completed. Information on making a "Cubes and Coroplast" cage may be found at: www.cavycages.com
