As the CRW rusts, the iron-oxide crystals provide a lot of hiding places for things like bacteria and virus critters. Have you thought about painting the CRW with something like Rustoleum or other paint with rust inhibitors??? Rustoleum can be purchased at Lowes in a brush-on or spray can with a choice of a few colors.

The paint will fill in those hiding places in the wire and, because they halt the rust, will also greatly extend the life of the cages you have built.
