A cage connector for connecting two mesh panels of a poultry cage. The connector includes two elongated members which are hingedly connected together and which are releasably fastenable to each other, so that mesh parts from each panel are connected by placing the parts between the members and fastening the members to each other. At least one member has a tab which projects transversely to the longitudinal axis of the member in the same plane, or a plane parallel to the surface of the plane of the member.
