We have available 2 different kinds of galvanized wire, one is shiney, like it's been polished and sanded it's not as rough, the second one is dull and has sharper ends and corners, at an auto motive shop one can buy a coating to coat wire, it is usually used to dip tools or nuts and bolts for color coding, it might be able to be brushed on. My gliders came in a wire cage and have seemed to do ok in it. If I could find wire 1/4 square I would like that better than 1/2 I think the 1/2 inch seems a bit of a stretch for their feet.

: Hi I just bought two gliders (both males) I have talked to many breeders and all of them have pointed out that galvanized metal isn't that bad for them. What exactly are your opinions on this matter. And if it is bad for them where can I get some stuff to coat the metal with?
