This was a strange question to start with, I know, but most pet cages are already coated so I haven't had to think about it before. I only bought this one as it was on sale and I needed something quick as the guys were in a tiny one level rabbit cage the rescue centre donated to me. I didn't...

The cage IS brand new! I only considered coating it as I have known people who have this cage and it does corrode over time as it is chrome. For anyone who wants to know, I have given up on the idea of coating it. The boys are now in it and very happy. It will probably last just long enough...
