I am just wondering if there would be any interest if I were to convert some plastic storage boxes into mouse cages? The suitable ones I can currently get are:
11 litre
32 litre (23x15.5 inches)
45 litre (similar to 32l but taller)
Also a large carrier with clip fastenings and handle, 14x11 inches so also suitable for rats, hedgehogs and other small animals.

I have not investigated other sizes but may be able to get them if requested. If people think they may be interested I will work out costs. These would probably be best as collection from me or an NMC show purely because postage would be expensive, though I am willing to post.

Here's a current 32 litre one, I have actually now got black cable ties so you will not see the fastenings in future versions.

I can also get 16 and 24 litre sizes that are suitable for mice.

The carriers are 14x11 inches and suitable for rats, gerbils, hamsters and other rodents (5mm mesh) as well as hedgehogs and other small exotics. If you are looking for a smaller carrier I can try to source these.

Also, to amend my original post, the 45 litre boxes have a smaller footprint than the 32 litre but are taller.

I have looked into prices to post to the US and it is many times the price of one cage, so I really don't think international shipping is viable. Rhasputin may be able to ship to Guam cheaply though as she's a lot nearer I believe.

I have now got a sample of a box with black fastenings, a much neater look:

The cost of this size of box (23 inches by 15.5 inches approx) is £8.99. If anyone would like to order some please get in touch. Other sizes are available including normal and extra large carriers, and 11, 24, 32 (shown above) and 45 litre boxes.

I have checked on Royal Mail's website and to send 8 of these (by standard parcels which is the cheapest way) it will cost £13 (equivalent to £1.63 per box).

I think you're going to Enfield show? If so I may be able to get them there to save you the P&P. I have a 14x11 inch carrier but haven't converted it yet. I'll do it this week when I can and post some pics for you. I don't have rats any more but I could put one of my APH in to show size as my female is the same size as the rats were (show line bucks, 650g-ish). I'll also work out the cost properly

Hi everyone

The symbol used was a pound symbol (GBP) and unfortunately you can't convert the cost for me to post elsewhere in the UK into dollars to get a US shipping cost as it will cost a lot more to post internationally.

The cost to post to Guam is astronomical - several times the cost of the cage. I see in your other thread that you have now made your own version. It seems like this is the best option for you.

Juliet - I haven't forgotten you My new batch of cable ties have arrived today so I will now be able to finish the carrier.
