Try jedds.com
Look under 'Equipment/Cages' and you will find an 8 compartment breeding cage for $250. I have one and they are really easy to maintain.

So far I have Foy's and Jedd's. They look like the same unit to me?

I believe Foys has theirs on special this month for $235.00 If you have a need for individual cages Martins cages out of Pa, has a nice selection.

Heads up if you build your own. I used 1X1 wire for the floor. Make sure you have the tray (poop catcher) a few inches below that so the birds can't stick their head through the 1X1 opening and pick up any soiled grain. BTW, they are MUCH cheaper than buying them. All I needed was a shop to make the gal. metal trays for me. All the supplies can be purchased at most Game bird supply stores.

I use a small three inch grinder with an thin abrasive wheel to cut the wire. Much faster and easier. :-)

Just build your own man. At least you can manipulate them and make them the way they suite you the best. Just be careful with that wire it'll cut you. Good luck

Alan,
If you get to know a few rabbit breeders in your area they have the cages you need. I know a few people gets out of the hobby they sell there cages pretty cheap. If you have to purchase a few check out the rabbits cage sections.
That is what I use is rabbit cages. I took the dividers out of them and made larger size breeding cages. My cages are 4' wide, 24" deep and 16" tall. With litter tray under every section. I have the three stack type and had the 4 but they wasn't really tall enough.
Hope this helps you out. And I beleive that individual breeding cages is the way to go. I use a open loft for my fosters.
Well came home for a couple of days now I'm heading back to Mississippi. Best of luck and hope you have success in the breeding loft this year.

I do not have closeup but this will give an idea. I used 1" x 2" wire mesh & 1/2" x 1/2 for floor.
Thanks, -Rauf
