Walmart is apparently switching to unsafe 5 square grids now too:

And their online available safe whitmor grids appear to be on clearance. Maybe they are getting rid of those permanently? Grr. Don't they know we need them to make cages.

Now what? That leaves Kmart which are few and far between these days and BB&B which are always out of stock. So that means closet shelving ONLY? Sigh.

Someone needs to start a new business. Anyone? A 9x9 grid making business? :/ I'm glad I'm not needing grids right now, they're impossible to find locally.

What brand are the ones Kmart carries?

I see Whitmor grids available on other sites. Maybe someone should email them and see if they are intending to change styles. And why it is a bad idea.

I saw in the Target catalog that this week, grids are on sale for $14.99. The 9x9s, too. Can anyone confirm?

Jedi, they use the old stock photo in the mailers/catalogs even though the in store stock is still the new style. It's been pointed out a few times in various places on the board I think.

I just bought some of the good 9x9 kind at a Bed, Bath, and Beyond. They only have one color (black) and it's only 4 cubes for $19.99, but it was worth it to me cause my guinea pig is currently in a too small cage. Looks like they sell it in store and online.

I bought the new Target grids because that's all I could find without leaving town. I used the B grids for the floor, under the Coroplast. The A grids are lined with hardware cloth (to keep little fingers out of the cage at school...they're real good about honoring the "invisible line" but you never know), which seems to work well so far.

I wouldn't risk using the Target grids under any circumstances.

Big Lots had the safe grids in black for $20 a box. These are the bigger boxes that actually make 6 cubes instead of 4.
