Tractor Supply usually has the appropriate sized wire and also the cage clips for constructing rabbit cages as well.

The wire I saw at TSC and what's online is 16 gauge, not 14 gauge. Guess I will ask if they can order the
Edit: I mistyped, meant 14 gauge.

Use the floor wire Z stick to brace the floors or make your own.

What kind of rabbits do you have? 16 is hard on some of the big ones feet. I had to add boards and those slotted plastic things. I rebuilt with the thicker wire where I could.

I meant to type 14 gauge, fixed my post above. I have Rex (not mini) and mixed Flemish. I need the 14 gauge rather than 16 gauge as it is better for the larger rabbits. I have cutting boards and ceramic tiles in the cages for them to rest on.

Thanks! I was thinking I would probably need something like this. The cages I have now have these in the floor. I will have to see if we have galvanized rods we can repurpose or if it would be easier to buy some.

We have tried various kinds, but like this cage from Amazon Amazon.com : Midwest Wabbitat Folding Rabbit Cage : Rabbit Hutch : Pet Supplies we actually put several in stacking formation in our building so we can house multiple rabbits.
