| What are the pros and cons of zoozone. i love my viv but was wondering what zoo zones were like? Can you stack them? what heat source can you use with them? | |

| You can only stack zoozones if you have a frame to put them in - you could put a zoozone on top of a viv though.
Would have to be heat mats as the lids are barred - I use one for Hermione and she is fine in it - I changed to vivariums as it was easier for me with having a larger number x | |

| There is an indent in the lid where you feed the wire or, you place it on the outside of the zoozone x | |

| I have a heat mat on Hermione and have never had a problem - the only problem I have ever had with a heat mat was the exo terra one - never had a problem with any others at all x | |

| U personally prefer vivs, they look better, they hold the warmth...zoo zones I use for my breeding girls to have their babies in. | |

| Can I ask Tayer, why do you move your mum to be's out of their vivs into zoozones? Never done it myself and interesting to hear another point of view x | |

| I like the look of the vivs to be honest .. gem but like Helen said i do have two zoozones on top of my vivs .. we are in the process of having a move around in the hog house to make room for two more vivs ...just my personal view ... | |

| Because when I 1st paired poppet I felt she destroyed her 1st litter because I was in and out in the evening with the food and water, so the movements of the glass etc.
With the zoo zone I keep the metal grid off and I just pop food and water without moving or disturbing anything...and I'm more quiet...it won't be so bad now, coz they've both had litters and I'm that little more confident and experienced...but I did wonder if it was the glass sliding that disturbed poppet. | |

| I think that most of mine are use to the sliding of the glass to be honest as its something i do several times a day ... it is more like she destroyed them due to her been a first time mommy Tayer and not sure what to do ... possibly xxx | |

| I wasn't gonna move poppet this time as fidgit will be in the zoo zone as from Saturday and obviously she needs to settle into her surroundings...but I suppose I was finding reasons in why poppet done what she done coz hand on heart I went no where near her or her nest. | |

| Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to extend their vivs or anything? I was thinking of somehow adding another viv or similar idea for extra room and connecting them somehow when I get a bit of money xx | |

| Not too sure on the VX36 Gemma - grab the LX48 if it is near you - I would.
Tayer, when I first started out, my Honey destroyed her litter and she was in a zoozone - first time mum and very unsure - I am sure she will be fine this time round x | |

| You can give them a good clean etc so that will be OK - think he is personally a little steep on the price being second hand but if they suit you, grab them chuck x | |
