wire cages
Gridded metal containers
Wire cages are enclosures made from metal wire formed into a grid or mesh pattern.
They confine animals—from hamster habitats to dog crates to chicken coops—or protect objects like industrial fans.
The open construction allows visibility and airflow while maintaining containment: The vet recommended a wire cage over a solid carrier.
