Temporary Transport Pet Cages
When you enjoy outdoor activities and you always wanted to take your rabbit pets along with you then you will be needing transport cages. Without a transport cage, it is quite impossible to take along with you your pets but not if they are well trained to behave. Unfortunately, most rabbits are not trained to behave wherein they might end up fighting with one another.
On this post, we are going to discuss how you can build your own simple transport cages. It's actually easy which only requires a few materials and some basic skills of handling wires.
Required Tools and Materials:
A Roll of 16 Gauge Wire (Screen) with 1/2 x 1/2 inch squares.
Measuring Tools and a Wire Cutter
Step-by-step procedure in building your rabbit transport cage:
Measuring the Wires
Use a flat table to unroll the wire-screen. Depending on the size of your pet, you have to determine the measurement that it needs for a comfortable space. On this example, we are going to build a 40 x 40 inch (40 inch width and 40 inch height) transport cage.

Bending
Take the first section that you had cut (160 inch x 40 inch) and mark the length with a division of 40 inches. These marks will be used as your reference for bending the wire to form the corners.
Forming the Square
You may need to ask an assistance from a companion to help you bend the screen. First is to bend the last two 40 inches at the end then the middle portion to form a square. Connect the ends of the square by using a wire ring connectors or any other connecting materials that you may prefer to use. You just have to make sure that the ends are tightly fastened that your pet cannot easily break it.
Take one of the 40 x 40 inch section of the screen that you have recently cut then lay it on one of the opening of the cage. Just like what you did fastening the end of the square, secure the four edges with connectors. When its done, flip the cage facing up and lay the other 40 x 40 inch section. This time you are just going to clip just one of the edge and leave the other edges free.
Congratulations! you are now ready to transport your rabbit.

This is good. Everything is made out of screen. I'm planning on revising your design a bit by adding wood support or braces on its corners.
Nice idea. If you have more budget and wanted to have a more durable transport care then you can also use aluminum. Other than its durable, it will also be good-looking.
