(a) Outdoor enclosure comprising a mix of natural plants, substrates and barriers. The structure and furniture provide a varied and mobile three-dimensional space. (b) Indoor enclosure comprising a mix of impervious shelving and surfaces with multiple branches, ropes and other man-made furniture. This more traditional housing is easier to clean and alter in terms of configuration. © 2010 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
