Vivarium vs Zoozone

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

so what do you do with the heat mat wire?

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

hhmm i just dont know. heat mats worry me now after hearing the stories especially on plastic.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.

yeah i like my viv and must be warmer.

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.

Sadly hun it just happens and we all look for reasons why and what did we do wrong but sometimes its just not meant to be x

This is one of the reasons I was looking for another zoo zone, but Ill try her in her Viv this time...fingers cross it will all go well and I'm just over reacting.

Im sure she will be fine .... jsut checking where we are meeting .. and how long its going to take do we need to book a table ?

is the LX 48 one ok as someone is selling some near me? or helen have you checked about the vx36 yet?

I have LX 48...I find them sufficient...they are longer but narrower..than vx36

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

I havent but i no Nicki has two levels to one of her vivs .. but hers is a tall viv ..

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

he has 3 for sale and he will sell 2 of them for £100 . they have had Boas in would this be ok? does the price sound alright?

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

not sure now then as it was £60 each and i asked if would do a deal on 2 he said £100 and no lower. he said less than a year old and excellent condition. the new ones are now alot more expensive arnt they now they have changed them.

Go get them Gemma - close to home for you xx
