I thought this would be a great habitat for my male guinea pig and it has been nothing but a pain from the moment I purchased it. Assembly was a pain. The design makes it possible for my pig to poop and pee along the side of the cage and that mostly ends up on my floor rather than the tray. The tray cracked within the first week. I wish I had done more research before I spent so much money on a cage that creates more of a mess.

It’s too small for rabbits of guinea pigs, but if you mesh over the wires it can be a perfect hamster cage! If you don’t mesh it over your hamster can and will escape.

The directions are terrible and none of the parts are labeled. I had to look st the picture on the box to figure out how to assemble it and it took me longer than usual.

If you can assemble stuff with a screw driver it's a good cage.

Pretty easy to set up and I’m not handy at all. Only complaint is that they said it’s good for rats and the mesh bottom is a little big for their tiny feet to slip through.

I purchased this for 2 guinea pigs. The tray edges broke after 2 months. I was told by the manufacturer that they are supposed to sit on top of the wire mesh and it is not designed for them to actually be in the tray on bedding. If they are placed on top of the mesh, their feet and legs will get caught in the mesh. Not doing that to my guinea pigs! They refused to help and so did Petco.

Easy to put together until you tried to secure the top bars into the longer portion of the cage bars. The measurements were off by about 1/4 of an inch. After about 1/2 hr, we finally got the bolts where they needed to be. The top part of the cage does not fit at all. Basically, it’s laying on top and not secured where it should be. Overall, the measurements are definitely off. I ordered online and our little guy comes tomorrow, so I don’t have time to return. It will be fine for our hedgehog, but I realize now why it was on sale.

My ferret Snowflake is geriatric and overweight due to his medication which makes it hard for him to walk. This cage is spacious enough so he can scoot around when trying to find the right spot to sleep. And it's up the ground which is good during winter time when the floor is cold. A raised cage allows allows him to see the action much better than the previous arrangement I had with a corral in the corner of his room. The casters allow you to move the cage easily. Cleaning the cage is fast and simple since I line the wire mesh bottom with three layers of soft, thick bath mats and puppy pads on top to keep his bottom dry--he can't climb into the litter box anymore. It's like a crib such that I don't have to bend down to the floor to pick him up. With a newly adopted well mannered Schnauzer in the home I was concerned about her curiosity, but with the cage higher up, the ferret has his own protected space, especially since the cage has a wire top that snaps in three places for security, I have no worries when I leave the house. I would recommend this cage for its sturdiness, well thought design, value. This is a great cage for middle age to older ferrets since they're less likely to climb up the rungs and get out. Large enough for up 4 medium ferrets, maybe 2 larger ferrets (with floor play time daily, of course). Be sure to always allow some solid surface like a blanket, towel, or appropriate bedding so the animal is not on wire all the time. Follow assembly directions carefully to be sure you're connecting the sides and bottoms properly.
