Welcome to the 2020 May Makeover! The first post of each month is a makeover, consisting of the deep clean and new DIY based setup! This series is intended to inspire those trying to make neat DIY based setups. Enjoy!
I will be linking all my posts related to this post later, so read to the end!
Here is Beanie’s current setup. There’s her water, rock, tubes, wheel, food dish, Bran-Bowl, her nest box, some random DIYs and a buried plastic barn. Let’s get started!
- The first step is to remove everything.
- I put Beanie in her 10 gallon holding tank.
- Next I scooped out all the bedding, and sanitized the bin with a vinegar/water solution.
- Add in fresh bedding with some old bedding for a familiar scent.
- Now I added her wheel, rock, some tissue to go under her water dish, a platform-like piece of wood, and a hollowed out crescent-shaped piece of bark, which I had found outside.
- Next I added a food bowl and her Bran-Bowl. I scatter feed Beanie, but also add some food in a dish for good measure.
- After I just added some different DIYs, including the Two-Tiered Tower, small bendy-bridge, and a simple popsicle stick ramp.
And now for the final touch ups!
- I scattered food around in little heaps.
- Then I shredded some tissue for nesting material, and piled it by the bark -cave.
- After cleaning her water bottle and dish I added those in.
And here’s the makeover results! This setup looks quite natural, and I was very excited to use the bark cave I found outside, and I think it looks really neat!
