Can the wire bottom be removed?

Yes. DO NOT get this cage. We are the second reveiewer to report waking up to our hamster hanging dead with neck caught between second floor and outer wall.

Yes it can. I removed the wire bottom from my own. It is completely optional.

Yes, you can and should remove the wire bottom for smaller animals. In addition to posing a risk for strangulation, wire bottoms can hurt their feet. My hamster has been using this Prevue cage WITHOUT the bottom since day one, and we've experienced zero complications.

It would be hard to put together without the bottom wire, but I guess if you tried you could do it. It would leave a pretty big gap that small birds could easily get out of.

Yes. I've never done it, but if you unscrew the top it should removable from the bottom.

Yes, the bottom of the unit is removable allowing you to remove the power cord. Per the manufacturers website you can hardwire the unit without voiding the warrantee.

The thingamabob on the end of the string is fairly solid. You can remove it if you wish.

Yes it can be removed easily. The ends of the cables will be exposed when unit is removed, because they plug into the back of unit. The molded plugs are water tight and shouldn't be a problem. You can always wrap with a plastic bag and rubber bands if you want extra security from the elements.

Yes, there is a plastic tab at the bottom (that should have been protuding a little bit) that you have to remove.

It's basially just fancy double-sided tape, so I don't see why not. It may leave a residue on the wires if you remove it, though. Not sure.

Yes ,I took mine off. Snipe the wire in the back where it is attached and it will come right off. I also put mi e an a piece of wood to prevent knocking it over.

You can either cap the wires or just cut the strip off with scissors or pliers at the last cut line before the 2 leads. It won't hurt a thing. I've done a decent number of led tape installs and am a licensed electrician. Hope this helps.

The base could be removed BUT the electronics for controlling the operation of the unit are in the central pedestal and are plugged into a short cable in the base. So NOT effectively.

Not sure what you are asking....line & load wires come out of the end as shown....what do you mean bottom feed?

Absolutely not. Do not remove the insulation. Very unsafe to do so. The instrument is designed to work by detecting current passing through the wires through any type of insulation.

Yes. The bottom wire should just lift out but you will need to take the cage apart a bit to do it

It ONLY installs on the bottom, not the side. There is a wood version that installs on the side but the wire is bottom base installation only.

I'll take a look at mine when I get home tonight. Just don't remember about the wire, but will check and see how hard I think it would be to remove. If husband is awake yet, I'll actually remove one and see. I would think, because of the screws, that it would leave somewhat of a hole, but there are products at the hardware store that will help fill those in without any problem.

No, unfortunately the bar that goes accross the bottom makes that impossible. I don't know if the bar can be safely removed? It dosn't look like it.-Another Home Health OT
