Now, I know keeping rodents in the house can be a touchy subject for some, but rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits all make great pets. They do, however, require different types of supplies than, say, your average cat or dog. Many people, unhappy with the rodent habitats available in pet stores, have gone the ReadyMade route, repurposing one piece of furniture for another use. In this case it's turning an old TV stand into a rat ranch. Well, maybe not ranch, since it's on the small size, but you get the point. Instructables user TimBTodd took a TV stand he scored at a flea market for $5 and built a screen door for it that latches closed. I love the idea of repurposing old furniture as clever pet habitats. It makes the whole chore of replacing bedding or sweeping out mini turds a bit more bearable when you have a cute DIY project to clean it all out from.
