Cats in a Reptiel Domus?

Heeeeello everyone..I just wanted to ask you if it was possible to keep 1.1 felinus in a 40x40x80H(cm)exo-terra reptidomus...
Thanks everyone for the answers!

I'm not sure what a reptidomus is? I looked on the exo terra web site and couldn't find any product called that. Do you have a picture of one?

sorry..they're from zoo-med...not from exoterra..anyway it's some kind of flexarium..a net cage with a side all made with plexiglas..

I couldn't find anything called that on Zoo-meds site either.

I would say it is best to house cats in a glass cage or other solid sided enclosure as it will be much harder to maintain proper humidity in a screen enclosure.

I don't think they would work very well for cats, for my above reason.

I agree with Derek. I think it has too much screen area. An exo terra or zoo-med terrarium would work well. I use enclosures that I make myself from rubbermaid tubs. If you do a search through this forum, there's a couple of threads where I have pics posted of them. You can also use something as simple as a fish tank w/ a screen lid.

One other thing, I don't suggest housing your felinus together. There are a few people that have/do. But the majority of felinus owners seem to find that they do better housed alone and put together only during breeding. They are very solitary animals in the wild. Which is probably why they retain sperm so long.
