Re: Chicken wire

I used the wire that is about 1cm but 1cm grid things. THis is also on the floor of the hutches but they are covered in bedding.

Re: Chicken wire

Hardware cloth is a type of wire fencing also called hardware mesh. It's the same stuff they put on the bottom of rabbit hutches. It has small 1cm square openings. They also make it with smaller openings

I recommend it over the chicken wire. It is tougher and will hold it's shape better.

Here is a website with a good picture. It starts with a fine mesh but you can click the arrows to the left of the picture to see courser mesh

Usually Google. The trick is knowing what words to put into the search engine. Don't bother putting in complete sentences and stick to the facts...as many as possible.

If you don't get results take away one or two of the less important words, make sure your spelling is correct and/or try alternate words.

If you get too many results then narrow your search by adding more detail words to your search

Re: Chicken wire

Cloth would be interesting, but you would have to use something strong, like canvas or wool. A canvas and wood cage would look cool. But you couldn't really have a lid. I'd try it if I didn't have cats.
