Description

Rabbit, Hamster & Guinea Pig Cage Mesh – 1.24mm x 25mm x 25mm

The Rabbit, Hamster and Guinea Pig Cage Mesh is a galvanised welded wire cage mesh with a 25mm x 25mm square aperture and 1.24mm wire gauge. This cage mesh is the ideal material for building rabbit hutches, guinea pig runs, hamster enclosures, and small animal habitats. The 25mm opening is small enough to contain small animals securely while allowing adequate ventilation and visibility inside the enclosure.

This welded mesh uses welded construction, where each wire intersection has a spot weld that prevents the mesh from distorting or unravelling when you cut it to size. The galvanised coating protects against rust and corrosion in outdoor conditions, making this mesh suitable for permanent outdoor animal enclosures as well as indoor pet habitats. The 1.24mm wire gauge provides enough rigidity to hold its shape across panel spans without additional internal framing.

Why Choose This the mesh for Small Animal Enclosures?

First and foremost, the 25mm x 25mm aperture of this this product is small enough to prevent escape by rabbits, guinea pigs, and similarly sized small animals. Furthermore, the welded joints maintain the mesh shape over time without the sagging or distortion that can occur with woven wire alternatives. As a result, the enclosure stays secure and visually tidy throughout the life of the structure. In addition, the galvanised coating means you can install this the mesh in outdoor pet enclosures without worrying about rust from rain or damp conditions. According to the Australian Department of Agriculture, appropriate enclosure materials are key to the welfare and security of domestic and farm animals.

Tips for Building with this material

Before cutting the mesh to size, plan your enclosure dimensions on paper first to minimise waste. Then, use tin snips or wire cutters to cut the mesh along a row of welds for a clean, straight edge. In addition, bend the cut edge back on itself at each corner to create smooth, safe edges that will not injure the animals inside. Finally, join adjacent mesh panels using hog ring clips or tie wire at regular intervals to create a secure, continuous enclosure wall.
