May seem OT but its realy NOT.

i want to build a cage for my ratty girls, the cubes holes are too large, i made a ferret cage form the closet shelving at one point and think it would work for the ratties...the biggest problem...

bar spacing.

does anyone know the actual spacing between the bars of the closet shelving? i need something 1/2" for the girlies.

love jasmine, want a nicely scented long blookming veriety that can be grown in a pot to move inside come the fall or be indoors all year round...ideas?

i live in zone 6.

Looking for good sources online or in the tristate area for PEACOCK cichlids.

i can find munba, i can find "mixed" but wheres a girl supposed to find good cichlid breders with nice peacocks...

there are no local "fishshops" to my knowledge that could special order or help me look, and the big stores (petco and choice) have abslutly no clue what im talking about let alone being able to order them for me...

im cichlid experienced this will be my biggest (225 gal custom tank) and most advanced as im doing an all male peacock. very excited i have 5 other cichlid tanks, this will be my biggest project so far.

i have 2 young wysteria vines comming froma friend, these vines are taken from cuttings but still wont flower for at least 2 yrs.

I already have wysteria growing up a trellis doing great, i LOVE it, now i find myself looking for places to put these 2 new vines.

right now i have a bed on either side of my large french doors. there is young clematis growing up either side. which will be cut back to 12" after the sweet autumn has done flowering.

I was wondering if i could plant the wysteria vines in the same beds as the clematis (one on either side of the doors).

Would the whysteria choke out the clematis? or viseversa would the clematis choke the wysteria? id think the clematis would climb through the wysteria making it a gorgeous all season show of flowers.

would that work without killing the plants? (there is plenty of room for the wysterias roots to spread, im just worried abotu it chocking my clematis vines.

I was wondering if i cou

i have a 12 inch wide wire hanging basket that id much prefer to fill with perenials and have year after year coverage, rather than spend money every year replanting it with petunias and other anuals.

its a full sun spot and i am more than willing to water 2-3 times a day or set up an automatic watering system, id love a center peice then something trailing, i like persian catmint alot, and anythign lemon scented!

suggestions of what to put in there would be great, purple, red and yellow are the desired colours.

i also have a small 1 yr old mandevilla vine, would that do ok in a 12inch hanging basket as long as i winter it indoors?!

Im looking for other crestie (hairless and powderpuff) owners in Connecticut...

Id love to get involved with a crested meetup in the danbury area if possible!
