How big of a cage do you want? I may have a more simple suggestion.



Regardless, I'll answer #3...



>>3. I quess this should have been question one, but do you think this type of cage would work, and do you have any suggestions.



I'm not a big fan of building frames from wood stock unless you're a fairly skilled carpenter. Since you're here asking questions I'm guessing you're not a skilled carpenter.



>>I have done this type of cage with plywood before, but i want this one to look good and not crappy like the ones I have done before.



From my experience when novice cage builders work with plywood their results are better than when they try to tackle a light weight, frame-style cage.



Plywood can very attractive. Here's a cage I built from low quality, oak-laminated plywood. I had the cuts made at Home Depot and then I took the panels home and squared them up with my circular saw. No fancy tools required. I could have done the entire cage with my $49 circular saw but I needed to get the plywood down to a transportable size.
