Ok guys, so most if the stuff previously suggested does now not exist. does anyone know where to get the cube in the UK?

I can only find them for £40 for 4 cubes which is a complete rip off!!

Thanks

Re: Updated supplier list for materials in UK?

Hi

I recently got my cubes from B and Q. There was approximatly 28 grids, with connectors for around £24.00. I also got my zip ties there very cheap.

I found correx sheets at the below website.

Correx White 2.44m x 1.22m 4mm - correx1 - The One Stop Plastics Shop

However i need to change my piggies bedding as there little footies are becoming sore on there current shavings. Does anyone know where i can get good quality fleece and what do you put under the fleece.

Thanks

I don't live in the UK so I don't know where you can get fleece. Have you read the stickies at the top of the bedding page? They helped me tremendously! Put something absorbent underneath the fleece. Right now I am using 2-3 layers of towels under the fleece. Read the stickies they helped and explain further than I ever could! Good Luck to both of you!

Re: Updated supplier list for materials in UK?

Hey. I saw them on the B & Q website a couple of weeks ago, however they have now removed them. I also went into a huge b & q store to have a look but they hadnt heard of them.

I dont think I will use correx as its going to be for rabbits and someone told me they chew the correx too much. Ive seen this and hope to copy the idea...

As for the fleece try a local market we have some fab fleeces for our cats that came from a market stall that would work well. This is the same one online...

Re: Updated supplier list for materials in UK?

I bought my fleece from Asda - 2 for £10. They come in red, pink or blue. Any smaller fleeces for upper levels I bought from Poundland!! I bought my grids online at shopfittingsonline.co.uk and my correx from mdpsupplies.co.uk

How much did you pay for the grids at shopfittingsonline? I seen these also, though the postage looked expensive.

Re: Updated supplier list for materials in UK?

Postage was £10 but for that you get 22 grids and enough connectors too. Plenty to make a large cage

Re: Updated supplier list for materials in UK?

Cubes = If you are anywhere near Milton Keynes the B&Q still sell them in there.

Fleece = Again MK, in Ikea they sell fleece from a £1. Lots of different colours and styles.

Good Luck
