LOL, last time I went to Tractor Supply I contemplated buying a cage for $30 or so (by the way, I checked Petsmart sales for you, Jess... & no good cage prices) anyway... at the checkout I noticed a nice, big cardboard box & said, "hey, could I have that box, please?!" spent a few bucks on something else, got a free chicken transporter ;P ! GOOD LUCK figuring that out today.

Home Depot, Lowes, & Harbor Freight sometimes have cages at decent prices, too. Haven't actually checked the prices in awhile, though.

Hog clamps and hardware cloth and you can build a wire cage. Hardware cloth is stable enough to cut to size hog clamp together and hold it's shape. The hog clamps also act as hinges for a door.

If you google "C&C guinea pig cages" you can find lots of good info on building with storage cubes. I make cages similar to this , but without the divider and bigger. They can be stacked, made any size and are super cheap. I have found that K-mart has the best deal on the cubes, and I get the coroplast from a local sign shop for $15 for a 4x8 sheet.

Oh cool!! I like these.. what do you do about food/water for them in there? use little clamp style?

 

[NicoleRM]

I like the little bird bowls that hang on the side, and use hamster bottles for the water. If you carefully clip out a couple of bars and file them (the edges are sharp!), you could hang the food on the outside.

Here are some plans and tools for putting together wire cages. it shows how to mount a rabbit feeder as well, these work well for chickens too.
