What gauge wire do you do you guys use? I found 1"X1/2" in 14 gauge but once it's rolled out it is awfully flimsy.

Look in the pet dept. they like to hide them in there.

When I lived in Pasco all the wire they sold was red brand the good wire.

14 gauge is what I use 1x1 or 1x2

14 gauge is plenty strong. You will be surprised how sturdy it is once it is bent into a colony. The 1x1 is my personal favorite but you can use 1x2.
