Can you put 2 or more caves next to each other?
As some of you know, I have the equipment for making slate tile caves. I was thinking of some designs and was looking at multi level cave setup. I was wondering of zebras will not have problems with each other if there is another zebra next to it's cave. I was thinking of a cave design, like this...
The above is just a rough draft. The bottom pieces will of course be the same length and the 2 caves on top will together be the same size.
Will it cause an issue?

@ crazy.eddie:
no problem, perfect design!
just take a look at this breeding set up:
http://www.welszucht.at/seitenfotos/zuchtanlage.jpg
and caves like this from another breeder:

might be an idea to put the backside of the middel cave on the other side,
this way you create more space between the entrances
good luck!

Cool. I'm glad it could work.
I actually thought about that. The only thing is I won't be able to see the plecs. My other idea was to make the caves coming out of 2 sides, but instead of them meeting, there would be a plate in between.John wrote: might be an idea to put the backside of the middel cave on the other side,

Good to know John. Which direction is your current going to?
John, to have the pic show up in your post, you need to...
1. Store the file using one of the online photo storage sites ( www.putfile.com , www.photobucket.com , www.imageshack.us)
2. Once the file is uploaded and stored, you will get a direct URL to the file. For example,
3. In your post, put the beginning image tag %20before%20the%20url%20and%20closing%20image%20tag%20[/img] at the end of the URL, like this for example...
Now your post, will look like this...
BTW, are all those your tanks? Are you breeding zebras in all of them?

Regarding the image, the link you provided is a URL to a page, you need to provide a link directly to an image file.
