Abstract
An animal cage for safely transporting and photographing animals is constructed with a circular base made from a commercially available black, plastic, bucket. Top access for observation or photography is obtained by an assembly of wooden blocks shaped to fit within a plastic ring at the top of the bucket. A frame is provided on the top with a square, glass pane sliding in grooves formed in the frame. Side access for observation or photography is obtained by cutting out a rectangular section of the bucket and fastening a side wooden frame having a glass pane sliding horizontally.
