: : My father made me a galvanized cage, the dimensions are 2 feet wide, 2 feet deep, by 3 feet tall. Is this okay? The wire spacing is 2 x 1/2. I have heard not to get galvanized wire cages, but unfortunatly it is too late for me, I just heard that. Well, right now, my baby glider is in a rabbit cage with P.V.C. coated wire. When the glider gets bigger and is transported to the galvanized cage, what will happen? My father will not build a large P.V.C. coated cage, because the one he already made was over $100. Any suggestions? I am desperate, 1 person tells me galvanized is fine, another says the oppisite, I need some direction!!!! HELP!

: Take the cage that he made to a local shop and have it powder coated any color you like. Should not cost much. Will look nice and protect the animals too.

: There is a running debate on whether or not galvanized wire is safe for small animals. Thus far I think that it is in fact safe, but I am watching the information closely.
