Keeping rabbit cage warm?

[Mikedero1]

Looks like the floor has 1/2X1/2 inch wire, I think that will get clogged with waste. Also looks pretty wobbley with the legs and no braces.

you can build one like this for about 30.00 the wire being the big cost of the project

I think we have it, the top and sides are made of 2"x 3" wire. Not safe for rabbits!!!

amy bart gets the prize ! back to nature ... making one think instead of just telling someone is the only way of learning what works and what doesn't in REAL LIFE. All wire cages with shelter from the elements are the best and only way to go. For floors , I recomend 1" x 1/2" wire as for the sides and tops ... 1" x 2" wire and for breeder / kindling cages I would use 1" x 1/2" wire along the bottom 2" of the cages to save any kits that are born on the cage floor, as well as some early wanderers out of the nest box. Also, the smaller spaces keeps a majority of predators ( such as rats that kill the kits) out of the cages.

I couldn't tell what size the wire was. Did I miss it in the ad? And thanks; I didn't buy the cage. Maybe I can make one.. And I agree with making people think, but I would never have gotten that one.

No, you didn't miss it in the ad. One can figure out the dimensions of the wire by knowing the dimensions of the cage (given in the ad) and counting the number of squares of wire in the picture. A little math, and you know the dimensions of the wire.

Ohh. Okay. Thanks!

It is funny you mention that Here in CT I had a hard time finding the 1/2X1 and the 1X2 fencing. I ended finding it at TSC but each store only had 1 roll each so I ended up driving almost 80 miles to go to 2 different stores to get 2 rolls each.
