Canadian Tire sells them as well and possibly even Zellers.

Kent, Home Hardware...anyplace really.

Just about any hardware store--already saw the names of everyone that I know of. Dowels are round, like the ones used in bird cages for perching. If you know someone with a table saw, they can cut you some out of 1 inch stock.

And if you can't find them just ask one of the workers and they will point you in the right direction.

Awesome; thanks everyone!


I measured the holes; I need one that's 1.5 inches wide.

I'll b sure to ask next time I'm out!

Building Materials at Home Depot. Ask someone in that department where the 1X1 strips are.

I would get one about 1" to 1.25". A 1.5" could be hard to get through the grids. I have 1" ones and they work quite well. Also keep in mind that the thicker they are, the more expensive they get. It would be good to measure how much you need before you go and get the smallest length that will suit your needs. Also make sure you have zip ties to attach it to the cage.
