Hey guys.
Okay so I live about 150 odd kms away from Bloemfontein and I need to get ahold of some enclosures. I know there is bloem but I will most likely only be going there again in July for my Birthday. Now what I want to know is, are there any websites or people who sell Perspex/Acrylic cages that won't cost me an arm or a leg and can post the said enclosures? I need some soon but will only be able to purchase around early next month. Any help will be appreciated.

If memory serves me Chris used to do this, but he is getting out of the game as him and the family is relocating to a new location abroad.

Other than that I don't bear knowledge of anyone else.

Have you considered making some enclosures yourself?

I bought quite a few from lunchbox last year. I still use them today and they are awesome. 5 x Arboreal and 6 x terrestrial.
Highly recommend lunchboxes enclosures.

To build them yourself is quite a feat.

you have to have the equipment to cut the perspex or get the supplier to cut them for you. Pricing last year was R800 exc. VAT for a sheet cut into any amount of pieces. but remember that if anything is the wrong size, it is your loss. Then you have to buy the adhesive, a special liquid that melts the plastic into a single unit. The contact sides have to be perfect to make it strong enough.

Lunchbox's enclosures has a nice lip on the panels to make the bonding stronger. This the supplier won't do for you and you have to do this yourself, if you have the tools.
