Cham habitat help needed

[wesser]

Hi there i have a pair of chams and there in a large viv but i have a massive parrot cage and i was wondering if you could give advice in a few areas as it has loads of room for them and also means can use the viv to increase collection.
1- would the parrot cage be ok for them and baby chams if i obviously safe proof it
2- what can i use to cover the cage eg glass, perspex of can i use mesh if i can use mesh whats the best mesh to use
3- can they stay in here 24/7

thanks

Before I say anything... can I see a pic of the cage? It sounds unsuitable and I wouldnt reccomend increasing the collection in just one cage. You really need cages for each individual cham after they are 4 months old.

oooooh thats a cool idea, iv got a large parrot cage in my attic. hope someone gets back to you with advice.

i think he meant he can use the spare viv to to put more reps in, which could then increase his collection..?

I re read and got that! oops. I would like to see pics though of the cage

yer i wouldnt put any other chams or nothing with them and i have 2 females about 7 months old and when i seperated them they got really moody lol like typical women and wouldnt eat very well then when i put them back together they where great again within an hour lol and i will try and get a pic have all the lights etc to go in the cage i was just wondering as its going to waste and would like to give them more space to roam they are already out lots anyway and are extremely tame
thanks

sorry how do i put a picture and its a bit like this one
Hacienda Large Dome Top Parrot Cage by Montana (SKY) | Bird Products | Medium & Large Parrots

mine is 3ft in length by 45 inches in height by 27 inches deep

Yeah, I have two females together at the mo, but they are only 10 weeks old.
I personally wouldnt use thte cage for chameleons, although it could work, I would put lots of graden trellis over the bars and probably use it for outside when the wether is hot. I just wouldnt like the fact the crickets could get out so easily!

[Chameleoco]

If you want a big viv, which in my opinion is excellent for the purpose, I would reccommend Zoo meds new repti breeze range, I have four extra large ones and they are really really good!

i thought if i used nylon mesh to the outside that will to the crickets getting out that way and boarded up the bottom, i was only wondering as i have it and dont no what to do wih it as it was my mum and dads for the cuckatoo but they have since mooved to spain and bought a new cage there so left this one here. And is it alright leaving the 2 girls together as when i do split them they do get rather upset lol
thanks
