Homemade 4 Hole Transport Cage

MamaSheepdog · **Posted:** Fri Jan 27, 2012 2:35 am

The wire cage is wedged into the pan pretty tightly, and the tray itself is very light, so it probably wouldn't fall off, but I do have springs on the sides to hold the tray to the cage. There are no carrying handles on it yet, and may never be. I have a crate cart so I can roll the cages to my location, and I can pick the whole thing up by the wire or by using the tub itself.

Oops- didn't notice him there! Yes, that is our cat "Jigsaw". All of the animals were very interested in the new cage, esp. my JRT.

The wire floor is a good 5"-6" above the bottom of the pan so there is lots of room for bedding.

I bought an 18" roll of floor wire, 18" 1" x 2", and 36" 1" x 2". The 18" is for dividers/doors, and the 36" is the sides, cut down to 32".

I bought the whole 100' of floor wire, so I will have extra for future cages. :twisted:
