Does anyone know where you can purchase cable ties? (not ordering) Like can you get them from the Home Depot? If you any suggestions they will appreciated!

You can get cable ties just about anywhere. Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Home Depot, Radio Shack, Lowe's.....

Usually someplace like Home Depot will have larger packs and it is less for a big pack than the smaller packs. My Home Depot carries black, clear and colored cable ties, also various sizes.

I was planning on adding another level to my C&C cage and I have enough grids but not enough connectors. Can I just use cable ties instead?

Absolutely! I use zip ties on my cages even with connectors, it just helps stablize everything and nothing will come apart if you move it. I just added a 1x2 deck to the cage Sirius is in, it is up with zip ties...not a single connector.

You can do anything with a roll of duct tape and a bag of zip ties ;)

Last time I was in Target, they had a pack of about 50 of them, many different sizes, for around 5 dollars. It was near the car supplies section - they had another container almost exactly the same size but it was different bungee cords.

Dollar General sells them for $1.00 for a pack of 40. I buy all that are on the shelf everytime I go in there.

i got a pack of 300 multi colored cable ties in a clear plastic reusable jar for $5. I thought THAT was a good deal.

If you have a dollar store near by they should have em too. I got mine at dollar general. You get 40 for one dollar.

Woohoo. I get them free from my dads work. He brings home like 100 every month (I don't think he realises that I don't need them anymore)
