Stackable plastic cages

Does anybody here have any positive or negative experiences with plastic stackable terrariums, for example Vision, Showcase etc. cages?

Re: Stackable plastic cages

I find them quite expensive. No experience though...

Re: Stackable plastic cages

Indeed they are, especially since nobody in this country sells them. But I would still like to know if people who have used them thought they were worth the price.

I still have this crazy dream of designing an affordable model myself.

Re: Stackable plastic cages

I'll have to let you know....I've got a set of them coming soon. But I do agree they are kind of expensive.

Re: Stackable plastic cages

That'd be great!

I was thinking about an affordable model as a possible business idea. Something really simple to make, like one of those plastic pet boxes. The kind people usually keep their cats and dogs in when they travel. Practically just two nearly identical halves with a swinging or sliding door.

Re: Stackable plastic cages

Yeah, they look very good. I have slightly different requirements at the moment, though.

Re: Stackable plastic cages

I use some of the plastic molded vivariums with glass sliding doors and the only problem i have found is they don't have adequate ventilation but that can easily be fixed. They are easy to clean.

Have a look at these. I don't know of anyone who has used them and I'm not sure how well they would ventilate through the corners, but they look great and are stackable. You can even buy dividers to help save some more space and money.
If anyone here has used them, I'd like to hear what you think about them as I have thought about getting a couple myself.
