walmart, target, most hardware store, home depot. . . some dollarstores. . .i think you can also get them at office max and staples, buti don't shop there enough to know for sure!

basically just ask for zip ties, normally in the housewares/home imporvement departments. . .most people know what they are.

you can buy big bags of them, i love having extra of these things around. . .can be used for so many things!

I used two different size zip ties. Ihad a bag of big ones laying around, but when I bought new ones theywere a lot smaller.

After having to cut the ends off 300 zip ties, I was thankfulfor the little ones. The big ones were a lot harder to cut,even with a utility knife.

If you don't have a utility knife, get one! They're only a few dollars and WELL worth it.

I like tools. I have lots of tools. I'm a weird girl.

Side cutters work very well (much better than anutilility knife) for trimming the zip ties. I'd be lost without them. Most people at a hardware store should know whatthey are. If I wasn't so busy with school right now, I'd takea picture of them.

It says they're made of poly vinyl. Do they look solid ormesh? That would be GREAT for shelves! It saysthey're12" panels, though. Hmmm...

herman and winnie got another cage! well, i am trying the NIC cage once more, just with a few different things:

i made it last night while watching the dog show on USA. . . but put it all together and moved them in today!

i have decided to use their x-pen as a run for them. when i am home,they are allowed to run the upstairs, but when i leave, they have to belocked up, that is why the cage has doors. at night, since i am home toget up if they get out or are just making to much noise, i plan onleaving the cage doors open to allow them into the run.

i just have a few last details to do. i need to pick up something forthe flooring on the shelf, i need to cut a new square of carpet for thefloor as the carpet is older and has lots of bunny stains on it, and ineed to come up with some more support for the level. . .herman is 10pounds of bunny pudge. . .

it is the first all zip tie cage i have done, normally i used theconnectors, and i am wondering if that is what i didn't like about thembefore. . .

No, that's why I mentioned it. There would be gaps. That's a bummer because they are really cool.

I finally finished my NIC cage! It's not very elaborate or big, but Ithink it's an improvement from what she had before. She loves hershelf so much she'll lounge up there even when the door's open - a bigdeal for her. I wanted to make it longer, but in the fall, I don't knowif I'll have room in my new apartment, so it'll be this big now, thenlater I'll probably add a third story when we move. I think I want toadd some fun things but I'm not sure what.

gwhoosh,

Your bunny looksjust like myNibbles!! Your cage looks great, andshe looks impressed with her new home in her picture!!

Have enough to build a small one for Connor.Tomorrow that is. If Connor does bond with Dallas, Teresa, andElvis(when bonding is done)he will stay in his. If he bondswe add on that one.

Samantha gets Dallas and Teresa's pen. Ringo get Samanthas pen.

Here is Pepper's new cage. I built it tonightfor $46, when I paid $38 for the tiny cage. I am taking the other cageback to the store tomorrow and getting a store credit. She is still toosmall to climb to the other levels though....we will have to work onthat!
