Help needed with cage building

When I built my cavy cage, I use the connecters and also I put electrical ties, on the top, middle, end of the cubes.

Hope this helps, you can look in photo galleries and see some there. Not sure where though.

When I used cabe ties, I put three on, one in the left, right, and middle, do this for every cube.

thanks

is it normal for the cubes t still move when they are tied together like this? I take it when I add another level they wont move so much?

Once you put the cage together, it should be more sturdy. If its not you can add more cable ties where needed.

I think the key to sturdiness comes from having different levels. Once you put in different levels of floors (shelves) this helps stabilize the whole thing. But I know what you are saying, it's not the same as a store-built cage. You get used to it and in some cases it's nice to be able to manipulate it sometimes.

Once you build it, it's usually too big to move around anyway.

thanks for your help, its now built and I amazed a how stable it is!! the only fright I have had is, I made it two cubes high with half a lid....big mistake, not only can my baby bunny climb like a pro but she can actually jump that height too!!!! What a fright she gave me, well needless to say I have now put a full top on, teehee. I am thinking maybe she is a hare rather than a bunny
