I see that there are castor wheel kits sold for about $40, has anyone gone to the hardware store and bought your own? How did you attach it to the cage? I have two stackers that need to be mobile. I'd like to do it cheaply as possible since I'm buying flooring for the barn today. :ermm:

WE figured out something for around 20$ a set. We used 2x2 lumber and made a frame to fight snuggly inside of the legs. then on the bottom if the frame we screwed on the type of wheel found on a rabbit show cart. We used 2" wheels, they move around just as well as the bigger wheels but don't raise the cages to high, which is essential if you stack 4 high.once assembling it we then place it in side of the legs lifted the legs so the bottom of the leg was even with the bottom of the wood frame and screwed through the holes on the legs into the ends of the frame. I can't describe it to well be I can take pics of some we have.
