Wire "basket" for Bottom of Cage

[Djturna4thakidz]

I have seen some members that have a wire basket that keeps the plants up off the bottom of the enclosure so it is easier to clean. Do any of you know where I could purchase something like this? Thanks

I'm not from the US so I can't help with any shop names, but I would think that any good plant/garden store will have them

Lowes or Home Depot sells them. Look in the Rubbermaid shelving section.

I checked them out at Amazon, but the shelves are only 12'' deep!
If I put my 24'' cage on that, it would fall over, unless I doubled-up

It's a good idea, it would help drainage, plus add some extra height

I use these for lighter plants because you can vary the height depending on how you orient the shelf:

I use these for heavier plants:

I was able to buy everything at Lowes/HD for cheaper than these prices. The shelf was in "home organization and shelving" and the plastic basket was in "Garden/Outdoors". I did have to modify the edge of the basket to prevent it from holding stagnant water. The wire shelf is easier to clean under but not as sturdy as the basket.

At stores like Family Dollar and Dollar General, you can get plant stands for $3 to $6. I don't know if they stock them this time of the year though. I know they can be easily found in spring thru summer.

Where do you hang these from? I can't imagine attaching it to the top screen (if that's what you have) will be sturdy enough to hold the weight.

I turn the upside down the elevate the plants. The wire ones are really easy to clean around. It's a great option if you can't hang heavy plants.
