Where do you buy your cages?

[tashiahouse]

I've built every cage I have, and they're all free standing hutches, but I'm looking at putting a shelter over the back of our building and putting 10-15 holes of either hanging or free standing all wire cages back there. My question is, where should I look for the best deal? I know Bass has a decent price on them, and I need to order some water bottles/feeders anyway..so I was thinking maybe it would save some on shipping..BUT..I'm just looking for input. =]

Bass has what I think is top of the line. But comes with the top of the line price...

KW and Quality are both too expensive for my tastes, and after a customer service issue, they lost me as a costumer.

Woody's Wabbits, which seems like a much smaller business, is my choice for cages. I can get 24 by 24's for $18 a piece (without pans), and make my own flush-kleen system. It's much easier and cheaper for me to do it that way.

I did the math recently, and it'll cost me $338 for a 17 hole set up. 2 big meat rabbit cages, 5 brood doe cages, and 10 junior/senior cages. Then probably $50 or so in wood to make the rest of the system. That $300 is the same price that you'd pay for /one/ set of a 4 stacker. It just seemed much more feasible to go on the cheap side. (And yes, I love bass cages. They look stunning, but I don't have the $1500 to drop on a set up... Maybe in the future when I actually have a job.)

They have great cages. I have used their Rat cages for years, and have used a few of the rabbit cages in the past.

I buy from local people at shows. They have much better prices than those big companies and are still great quality.

If you go to a local Tractor Supply or something, you don't have to pay shipping. lol They average like $25 per cage, plus you buy the legs and stuff if you want stackers and/or pans. It might be like $60 for a cage with the pan and legs. And no expensive shipping.

True, everyone. I REALLY like my standing hutches, and I wouldn't care to keep building those to round out the rabbitry, BUT I'm running out of room!! I mean, I basically live on a mountain..we had to bring a backhoe in the make room for the cages we have now..lol

I buy from Martins Cages as well. They are awesome, and pretty decently priced. Really helpful too. And they are at every show I have been too!!! They have carriers too, and all kinds of supplies.

We have built every cage of ours except the Hutch was giving to me by my father!

I've got basically all of the holes I need...but I'm weird about not having cages to spare. I like to have at least 5 open at all times, and after I separate my juniors in a few days I'll only have one cage open..I don't like that..so, I'm gonna build two more 6 holes...just to have around..

I built my bunnies' cages as well. I have a petstore one that's not in use.

The prices reflect quality. The owner is also an AWESOME guy.
