Converting an outdoor enclosure

[Theveryhungrycaterpillar]

Hi friends! I'm wanting to build an outdoor setup for my beardie and chameleons to enjoy next spring/summer. I thought about converting a rabbit hutch or a chicken coop.. any thoughts or suggestions? I was planning to cover the enclosure in mesh or something similar to prevents anyone from escaping. I'd also like to to put a bioactive setup in place similar to Dodges indoor home. Also some branches for climbing, hides, all the good stuff. Any help is appreciated!

Im not sure i would use a chicken coop, reptiles and birds are closely related. If there is anything nasty still living there your beardie might pick it up.
I use a ferret nation cage for outside time. It works good for beardies, but I'm not sure the bar spacing is close enough for your other buddies.

Yeah I agree that you wouldn't want to go with a used chicken coop or rabbit hutch because of the risk of illness (I have one in my back yard and don't use it for this reason). A new one would be OK though.
