Yeah they REALLY like it. And my mom was saying "If I never see another zip tie again it'll be too soon" so we're pretty sick of em.

I like what you did with the bottom to keep it off the floor. That would have saved me some time building a separate stand for them. Good job!

Very nice I would make double sure they can't get out of the bottom of the door or the sides couple more zip ties on the solid end would help. Pvc tends to bend easy u don't want them squeezing out. just an fyi. What are u going to use to lock it?

Yeah we definitely got all the areas they could even possibly squeeze through, I'm really like over anxiety about stuff like that, on top of the door we put some stuff, its not in the picture though. Its some kind of material that goes in between sealing off doors or areas like that.

edit: its some kind of weather stripping. also we use Velcro to lock it. The red things you see in the picture lock it and hold it together quite nicely and theres no holes because we overlapped the hardware cloth on the sides.

No sharp edges, I dont remember the cost but we used almost two and a half 36 inch by 15 feet hardware cloth rolls for our cage.
