I am going crazy. I live in a small town and know there is a couple of people up here that knows where I am. My question is can anyone help me find some grids? I live in Murfreesboro, NC. I have looked in Ahoskie, Franklin and Murfreesboro. I know that is not very much looking, but I will do more this weekend hopefully. I would rather be bale to go some where to pick them up instead of getting something online. I plan on checking at wal-mart in Roanoke Rapids this weekend and maybe Rockymount. Any help would be great. I know my pigs are tired of being in a small cage and I am having to clean it everyday almost.

Why not order some grids off the net?

If you have a Target they seem to carry grids, atleast they do here. Our walmart doesn't carry grids.

At walmart, you can order them online and have them shipped to a nearby store for free. They do not stock them in stores though, I dont believe.

I searched 'storage cubes' and got some Whitmor cubes on Wal-Mart's site for $14.88

Thank you so very much. I guess I was not searching the right terms.

Okay if my counting is right there are 4 cubes in all so that makes 20 grids. How many grids and connectors will it take to make a 2x5 or 2x6 cage?

Targets also have cubes right now. They're Organize-It brand, and are between $12-$14. That brand is not on their website (though the Whitmore brand is). If you go into the store, there's a section for closet organization, and they're almost always right there with it.

Hello, it's me in Jackson. I have gotten all of my cubes from Target in Rocky Mount. (I think I've gotten about 5 boxes total). they almost always have them. The Wal Mart in Roanoke Rapids doesn't carry them that I know of. Rocky Mount Target is a really good bet.

It depends on whether you want a floor and/or lid.

2x5 without floor/lid = 14 grids
2x5 with floor no lid = 24 grids
2x5 with floor and lid = 34 grids

2x6 without floor/lid =16 grids
2x6 with floor no lid = 28 grids
2x6 with floor and lid = 40 grids

You can use the white wire closet shelving as an alternative to grids for a lid if you have to make it closed.

Thanks very much two you both. This is very helpful. My mom lives in Rockymount and I have her checking at target for me. Thanks for the cage info I will keep up with all of this.
