Which are safer to secure the grids?

ZIP TIES OR THE CONNECTORS THAT COME WITH THE GRIDS?

Could I use a combination of the two?

Thanks in advance

A combination of the 2 I would think. I have personally used just zip ties and it is very sturdy.

I use a combination. I find that the zip ties are definitely more sturdy though.

A combination of the 2 is strongest. But if you wanna only use one, it depends. If you mean sucure as in staying in a box shape then the connectors, but they can come apart. The zipties will not come apart but they can move into different shapes.

I used both. Since my cage had to fit on my kitchen counter, I had to make it narrower than normal. I zip tied everything together, but used the connectors on each corner on the top and bottom.

I used connecters so my dog wont move it and zipties so he doesn't knock it out of place.

I used both and my large cage is moved often to vacuum under it and it's so solid. We ziptied as much as possible.
