I would also be interested to know what evidence they have to back up that claim & they do need provable evidence to make such a claim in advertising. The reality is, the perfect enclosure is the one that suits your needs for that particular T. And I am not sure that being made of polycarbonate plastic has any real advantages for us. As most other commercial materials seem durable enough for our needs & that is the big advantage with polycarbonate plastic, it's strength & weight, as opposed to glass. Which is why it is used in security applications. Personally I use a mixture of plastic, acrylic & glass enclosures. Most of the enclosures I use for my adults are commercial enclosures.  But  most of those I use for my dwarf's larger slings & juvi's are kitchen tubs of one form or another.</blockquote>
