My STO's new Viv Build
Well ive just pretty much finished her new home but thought Id put a few pics of its general progress up.
Viv started like this  Pva'd to seal the wood  Right side has an opening door, left will be glass on runners. Lil play around with the polystyrene and bark   Thin layer of grout followed by a second thicker layer  Layer of sandstone grout and filler in all the joints to the exterior  Painted grout for a more realistic look  Bark back in and a good sand down and paint on the exterior  At night with the viewing lights on  Day time  Harriet exploring    Little sand bath, she may use it as a bath or may use it as a toilet, either suits me! Shes not got great toilet training so far!  On her wheel down the bottom

That's really sweet! I especially love her wee sleepy pouch up in the trees
 How have you added ventilation?

its rare to see people make fake rock backgrounds for mammals, its generally a reptile thing... i really like it! nice touch with the wheel too. if i still had my dwarf hamsters (unfortunately they died a while back) i would want them to live in something like that

Yes theres holes cut out with mesh screwed to the inside of the wood and rockwork around the edges so theres nothing to pick at.
Theres also gaps around the door and between the glass overlap. I think generally people dont make them for mammals because they would get chewed. Im pretty sure dwarf hammies would chew the plants and rock not to mention the bark, branches, wheel and litter tray.  It might be doable with some stronger materials possibly, concrete instead of grout? Something stronger and non poisonous to small animals to seal it? Im not sure.
