Tractor Supply usually has the appropriate sized wire and also the cage clips for constructing rabbit cages as well.

The wire I saw at TSC and what's online is 16 gauge, not 14 gauge. Guess I will ask if they can order the 16 14 gauge.

Edit: I mistyped, meant 14 gauge.

What kind of rabbits do you have? 16 is hard on some of the big ones feet. I had to add boards and those slotted plastic things. I rebuilt with the thicker wire where I could.

I meant to type 14 gauge, fixed my post above. I have Rex (not mini) and mixed Flemish. I need the 14 gauge rather than 16 gauge as it is better for the larger rabbits. I have cutting boards and ceramic tiles in the cages for them to rest on.
