The only way I could find decent rabbit cages was to either make them myself from 1x1/2 inch wire which I bought from eBay or buy them from this website (from poland). They cost about £80 I don't remember wether it was including £20 delivery or they wanted extra.

Anyway at the end I just bought wire from eBay and made them myself.
Btw are you looking for some new zealand breeding stock?

I have new zealand and blue silver fox. Since my wife doesn't like eating rabbits I'm thinking of selling them and breeding little pet rabbits  ::)

I'm looking to start keeping rabbits for meat this year. Might be interested if you are selling.  Whereabouts are you?

Ebay has some from Italy. They are pricey though.
I have to start on my cages. I want to start this year.
