Where can I buy powder coated wire mesh?

Hello there.


I'm in the process of building a rat cage and have been searching in just about every DIY department store, garden centre and pet shop I can think of, for powder coated wire mesh. But to no avail.


I've read in various books and articles that the ';normal'; variety of wire mesh is toxic to small animals when wet and can cause zinc poisoning. Hence why i need the posh stuff.


If anyone has any ideas where I can get this elusive material, could you please let me know. Would be most grateful.


many thanks,
