Target kid cubes?

[Furkidsmommy]

I saw the pictures in the photo album for Target kid grids/cubes. Has anyone purchased them recently? I have been looking in every Target store near me and cannot find them. Am I searching in Vain?

Kid cubes? The ones with the small grid holes? I think they are a discontinued/clearance item.

Good luck!

I hear that they have cubes with really small spaces at Linens n Things.

Thank you for the tip about Linen's and Things. I went there today and got a pack of mesh cubes. (broken link removed)
I wanted a smaller cube/mesh to replace my girls current hay rack. They are rather fond of climbing into it and I was afraid of them hurting themselves, falling through the large grid holes. Here is their old hay rack.

Here is thier new hay rack installed. There is a coroplast divider in the middle to deter them from going all the way through it.

Nice hayrack there!

Neat idea!!! =) Do they just get the hay from the sides, then, or can it get through the little holes?

 

[Furkidsmommy]

Just from the sides. That's all they used to do anyway. They lie on their beds and graze.

Ok, thanks! =)

Looks like that would cut down on the spillage out the back too. My hay rack is just a grid folded over and my girls eat from the side and through the grid. Cinnamon likes to climb into the rack to hang out.

We just use tissue boxes as hay racks. But I'm always up for seeing someone's creativity in action.

mesh cube

Is the mesh cube metal or fabric?

 

[mncavylover]

It looks like finely punched metal to me. The fabric ones would work, though, I think. =)

 

[Furkidsmommy]

It is very fine metal mesh. I am very pleased with it.

Wow You guys are giving me such great ideas. I can't wait till monday to start building my new cage.

Thank you for this link! My rabbits have taken to chewing off the plastic on the grids that I have. They are the standard white grids from target. I am going to rebuild my cage, but with the mesh instead. Although, is it hard to see them and visa versa? I don't want them to be stuck in the dark.

Are the grids coated in plastic or paint? I have the white grids from Costco and I think mine have paint.

The person who first made a rabbit condo out of the cubes called the company (Fellowes) that made the Neat Idea Cubes, and they told her the paint is safe for rabbits. There are many knock-off brands of cubes, so I don't know if the same holds true for the other brands. Her website is https://princessblackie.homestead.com/

I don't think the visibility would be as good as with the regular grids. A condo made of kid cubes was donated to the shelter, but after a few months they got rid of it. Potential adopters could not really see the rabbit. I prefer the regular grids much better.

Maybe you could make a pen enclosure with the wire mesh cubes instead of a condo. If your rabbits aren't into jumping you could make it two grids high, but if they are jumpers, you would have to make it at least three grids high.
