Is there a good link to approved cage material. I'm so confused at what is safe and not. We want to build a cage, but there is mixed information. Any help is appreciated

I don't have any links, most get the plastic landwire at Menards, Lowes or Home Depot. Just stay away from the coated wire from Riverside, sold my Klubertanz here in Wisconsin.

Yes. So right now I have two powder coated cages. Not sure what is under. They are much easier to clean than the pvc. My husband ordered a piece of alum coated with pvc, but it's seems kind of rubbery, and I have a couple gliders that would probably chew it. Right now one of my girls has to lick the cage all the time., so I want it to very safe for her.

Cost is no issue. We just want everyone to have a big cage. Does anyone know if aluminum is safe if anodized.

So powder coated aluminum is ok? Does it matter the powder coating? I bought my current cages powder coated, but not sure if there are different grades

The powder coating is baked on and makes a hard covering, it is safe.

Anyone know where you can buy it to length. My husband found a place to buy the supports, just not the bars.
