The top cutoff point on the left is a deeeeep hole covered over with brass mesh so i can add water in and i made it really deep to cut the weight down a touch

the top middle cutoff point has mirror perspex over it for placing food and so the platform will be 'wipe clean' able.

the base is set in place by 1 bit of 12mm dowel and 2 wood screws
it is VERY secure :)

Your webcam is doing fine. ;)

You keep them in a cork nest now ? Don't forget to keep it moist, they like it. ;)
