Where To Buy Replacement Grate?

[RipTweety]

Does anyone know where I can buy a grate that's either metal or plastic that's 9 5/8 inches by 6 3/4 inches? I have one for my travel cage that I had used for Tweety (that I got off of a different travel cage that I sold a while ago) but I just bought another travel cage since I will need 2 (one for Leo & one for Bella) so when we go on a trip I don't put them in the same cage & have any hanky panky I'll attach a picture of the grate I have now. thanks in advance for the help!

I don't use grates in the first place, but a grate for a carrier or that size? Why?

You could probably make one out of egg crate. You can find it in places like Home Depot in the lighting section.

Bella & Leo like to play in their poop so I need to get a grate for the other travel cage so they can't play in it

Could you find a cooling rack in the kitchen section, they have different sizes....

I second the egg crate! You can also use it to make platforms in cages. I also use it in terrarium mods.

It looks a lot like shelving for closets at HomeDepot, check that section while you are there.

Is egg crate sharp or smooth? (I've never heard of it before)

Would the paint on the shelving be okay if they ended up chewing on it?

When you cut the ends it is usually sharp, but a quick pass with a file or dremel tool will fix that.

What Bee said, and it looks like this. The holes are usually 1/2 inch.

They're usually coated in a thin plastic that peels off pretty easily. I'd worry about the metal beneath. Not sure what it is.
