Faith, I am going to be painting the metal frames of these cages. I did some searching and it seems that Rustoleum and Krylon H20 paints ARE safe.
Miss M, the pictures WILL be coming. We are taking our time with the cages because of other projects here at the farm, but we have a deadline of the Louisville show. I want to have two of the three cages built by then, and then work on the grow out cage after that. So...if all goes according to plan, my covered attached carport will be a purty rabbitry within a month.
