Building a NIC cage

[cmh9023]

Hi, Are there any threads that give directions on how to build a cage out of the NIC cubes? When I do a Search I find a lot of pictures of them and they look great. I'd like to try to make one but I don't really get how to do it. Thanks!

I believe one of our members has instructions in her bunny blog, I think it is Trixie but I'm not 100% sure.

Hopefully she'll come along and point you in the right direction.

When I built mine, I just used zapstraps to hold the panels together, and shelf supports to hold the shelfs rigid. That worked really well.

Have you gone to the cage thread in the Bunny 101 section?

that's the link that I used to build mine

I found that the dowel rods have made it extremely sturdy. Elf has enjoyed hers for almost 2 years now, and nothing has had to be repaired!

Thanks for the info on that cage Elf Mommy..I was thinking about doing that one for my Mr. Tumnus. It looks like it would be just the right size.
