all metal rabbit cages

[AZ Rabbits]

what size is the baby saver wire that is used for the floor of the cage's...?
I am using 1"x2" for the walls just not sure of the size to buy for the floor for kits... Klubertnaz does not sell 14 gauge..1/2 x 1/2 that is what I thought was used...
could I use 16 gauge 1/2 x 1/2 and be alright with out having to worry about the floor bowing...

Baby saver wire is the same size as the floor, 1/2" x 1". They call it baby saver because the bottom few inches of the side have that small wire to keep the kits from falling through the 1" x 2" wire.

All my cages have floors 1/2" x 1", which I think is the best. Klubertanz does sell that in 14 gauge, galvanized after weld. Then on all walls and ceiling 1"x2" (with baby saver on the bottom part) 14 gauge as well.

thanks for the help with all my questions..... I am working up a cost sheet to see how much it would cost to build vs buy pre-fab....
as I go thru the steps to build I find there is alot I don't know...

next question is ............ what size c clips (pen rings )should I purchase when working with 14 gauge wire ...ie...3/8 or 1/2 inch and should they be sharp or blunt...
and are J clips better to use than c clips ...?

I would recommend you call Klubertanz directly. They are extremely helpful and can explain the difference between the sizes, types, metals, etc. They can give you the actual item number you need as well as how many you'd need for your project so you can work up an accurate estimation. They've always gone out of their way to help me with my projections.
