I am making a multi hole rabbit cage and neew some advice.

Ok, I plan on building it and have it all figured out in my mind. I am building it out of wire and then putting dividers in and holding it all together with hog clamp (or something like that.) The problem is, I can only find the wire to make everything that is all rolled up and that will make it difficult to construct. Does anyone have a better idea on where to get the wire that is flat.

I made one out of probably the same wire. The quarter inch hardware cloth. Just cut the size you need. I made a double pen with a divider in the middle and built a hutch for both sides and each side has it's own door. Once you start clipping it together it holds up.

Wire always comes in a roll.
the best way to deal with the rolling is to cut to desired length, flip it over so the curling is on the bottom and then ring it together.

DO NOT: cut to length, cut to # of squares, 14 squares for bottom14 squares for sides other wise you may cut an 1/8th of an inch too short or long throwing off the squaring of the cage.

Hubby did this with the first cages he ever made, I walked in and looked and said it looks funny, he said yeah it doesnt want to go together right, counting the squares he was off by 1 1/2 inch square. even though measuring the panels was correct, the wire was not correct.

Thank you for the advice

You could create a space between the holes, so that you pull out the dividers and clean them.

I'd like to see pictures of this. If anyone has one they'd like to share the looks of.
