  • It's a good cage, but be careful with this listing!!
Style: Two Story
Double Check Before You Buy This I bought what was supposed to be a critter nation under this listing. It is called the critter nation (at least currently), and described as model 161/162, which is also the critter nation. However some of the questions and answers under the product refer to the ferret nation, and the pictures in the description and customer pictures are of both. I'm not sure if they use this listing for both and switch between them or what, but it makes things very confusing and they should fix it. I received the ferret nation instead, I couldn't exchange it from the seller since they didn't have the other in stock, so I had to send it back and reorder it for a higher price. I suppose I should have been a little suspicious because I had never seen the critter nation that cheap before... But the point is, whether you want the CN or the FN, as long as this listing is still confused with the pics and description, contact the seller and make sure you're getting the one you want before you buy it. As for the actual cage itself, it is a great cage. This is my second one, and I attached the two double cages side by side to make a quad. It is spacious and the design is decent. I would highly recommend it, but wait for it to be on sale. The CN is great for rats, the bar spacing is small enough that they can't get out and they are horizontal so it does allow climbing. The layout is made so you can hang things almost anywhere, and if you want to separate the top and bottom sections of the cage (either for cleaning or separating the animals) you can by hooking the ladder up. If you want the separated at all times you can also switch the top and bottom pans so the hole is covered. The wheels also make it easier to clean. It does have some flaws though. It can be hard to put together because the pieces don't always line up perfectly and you will need to hammer them into place. The new shelves are a bit uneven as well. The old shelf pans clipped under the shelf, and they were very nice but more difficult to clean. The new ones fixed that, they are much easier to clean and have a lip now, but they are not quite as secure and sometimes they sit on an angle, though it shouldn't cause any problems. And some people do not like that the cage doesn't have a pan for bedding/litter, however liners are much easier and if you really want you can buy pans that fit the bottom. I love this cage for my rats, but I'm not so happy with amazons listing at the moment, if they fix it I will change this. ... show more

  • Perfect cage for my 3 ferrets!!
Style: Two Story
1. Easy To Clean & Decorate I absolutely LOVE this cage. The full sized doors are one of my favorite features of this cage. All I have to do to clean up is open the doors and wipe the trays down. Boom, that simple. No taking apart cages, no lifting up bars off of a plastic base, no more sticking arms through tiny doors to redecorate, none of that. It is so super easy to get in there and clean from corner to corner without the frustration and pain of jamming your arms through small doors, or lifting the whole top off of a plastic base. 2. The Space Is Awesome The amount of space in this cage compared to other cages I've had, is fantastic. Having 3 ferrets, they need quite a bit of room to move around and play. This cage gives them a lot of room. Not only do they have 2 full floors, but also the 2 half floors. Inside this cage I have two 3 tier hammocks, a cozy cave hammock, a critter space pod, 2 midwest stainless food dishes, a double cat food dish, 1 large dog water bowl, 3 lock crock dishes (I use for treats), 1 large tunnel, 2 corner litter pans (Bandit loves to sleep in them), and the bottom to their old cage which I use as a giant litter box. 3. No Potentially Dangerous Falls With the 2 full sized levels of the double unit, there is no potential for dangerous falls. Ferrets like to jump around and play. Some of the cages out there have half tiers going all the way up the cage. If a ferret falls from that top tier and hits the bottom of the cage, it could potentially be fatal. This cage doesn't have that issue. 4. Sturdy, Solid & Escape Proof This cage is a beast, not only in size, but in sturdiness. This thing is heavy and solid. My ferrets are true escape artists. First off, they will scratch/chew their way out of anything if they can. They will find a way to open doors or squeeze through bars. Especially Booger, since she is much smaller than my other two. Which is why I got the critter nation, because of the smaller bar spacing. There is no way she is opening these doors or squeezing through these bars. The only time they "escape" is when I open their doors. 5. Happy Ferrets = Happy Owner My trio of ferrets is happy in their new, much bigger cage. They have plenty of dishes, plenty of napping spots, and plenty of space to jump around and tackle each other. Smokey loves that she has so much space to scatter her food. She's my messy girl. Bandit loves that he can nap in any part of the cage. He's my lazy boy. And Booger is just happy to be with her friends in a nice big cage. She's my sweet girl. My ferrets are happy, which makes me happy. I would absolutely recommend this cage for ferrets. Especially if you have a smaller ferret, as I do. Easy to clean, Spacious, Safe, Solid & Escape Proof. Perfect. ... show more

  • Best cage ever for my netherland dwarf rabbits!
Style: Single Story
I raise Netherland Dwarf rabbits. These cages are amazing. The wire is close together so when the tiny babies come out of the nesting boxes they can’t fall through the wire. Assembly was way easier than other brands. I was blown away. The size is perfect. The shelf inside the cage is made out of quality material. Having a shelf below the cage is great. Love the double doors. Easier to clean out. I posted this cage on my Facebook rabbit page so everyone would know this is the best cage!!! ... show more
