If you are bringing your own cage, even if only a single width cage, you must purchase the extra ½ (double) cage space. A grooming space is the same size as a double cage space: 22” x 44”. All cages must be covered on the top, sides, back, and bottom. Everyone is expected to supply their own litter and litter boxes; however we will have a limited amount of litter and disposable cardboard litter boxes as a courtesy to our exhibitors who fly-in to exhibit at our show. Special benching requests will be honored to the best of our ability. Only one benching request may be submitted. Agent request take priority over benching request. Clerks will be benched first.
