In Australia our mice are shown in small plastic fish tanks like these :

I've been dying to get my hands on a Maxey. So I decided I'd make a couple to see what they looked like.
I won't be using them for show, I'll be using them to transport mice too shows.

I didn't have much sucess trying to put together a traditional door but I did manage to make a functional substitute.
Bonus is you can remove the door to make the unit easier to clean.

Having no woodwork experience whatsoever I recon I did a pretty good job for a first attempt!

BTW they are regulation sized ones. One of my mouse books had the measurements.

I do understand what your saying Jack.
Fauna boxes LOL :lol: .

As long as mine are functional and look like the genuine article (apart from the doors) it's OK. I won't be showing mice in them so there isn't much point in being to paticular.
Maxeys are just ideal when it comes to storage and transportation. Plastic tanks don't stack well.

Fascinating information. Now I don't feel so bad I improvised the doors.

I actually like the convinience of having the doors removable for cleaning purposes.
