  • Awesome enclosure! Very sturdy and great size! STRONG BUY!!! Awesome enclosure! Very sturdy and great size! STRONG BUY!!!
Size: Double Story Color: Sliver
I freaking love this thing... and so do my ferrets! My ferrets are 7 months old and had outgrown the single level rabbit cage I had them in originally. As soon as they figured out they had 4 floors they have been living it up! My only warning to buyers is that mine was sa pretty rough setup. They provide the necessary screwdriver but the Sheet metal tabs they threaded for the 8 or so screws you need are very difficult to get by hand. Personally it was pretty easy because I had heavy pliers (to hold the bars straight) and an impact driver to drive the screws in but without those tools this would have been very frustrating. Good directions with pictures and all parts assembled as described (other than the tough screws). Once it is assembled the thing is a beast. It feels extremely sturdy and has excellent storage space down below as well as storage up top. I plan of buying the 3rd unit to extend it even larger for my two ferrets because I'll probably end up purchasing another comrade or two now that I have a great enclosure that is very easy to clean etc. 🤘 Strong buy from me. ... show more

  • Has cons, but a fantastic cage!
Size: Double Story Color: Sliver
Got this cage for my kit, he loves it. Pros: - HUGE in my opinion. I think 3 ferrets could stay in here and still have plenty of room. - Bars are perfect to keep ferrets inside (My kit is small, and he can't even try to squeeze through. His nose can fit, but there's no way he could get stuck). No way they could chew through the bars. - Good Quality - Comes with ramp covers to protect their feet - The ramp connecting the top and bottom portion can be hooked to the bottom of the top portion, making it so the two levels are separated. Could be good if you have two different pets or small pets that don't get along! - Could probably fit squirrels, guinea pigs, chinchillas. Maybe not rats, but I'm no expert. - Things easily attach to the cage, like water bottles, food bowls, etc. - Comes with pretty good quality trays - Things can hang from the top and bottom levels (perfect for hammocks!) - The shelves are pretty big, and not so high up that if they fell or jumped off, they would get hurt (My ferret sometimes forgoes the ramp in favor of throwing himself off the shelves) - Good doors. - Wheels on the bottom, easy to move. - Has a shelf on the bottom. Cons: - My ferret likes to poo in corners, and if your ferret is not very great with litter (like mine) then the poo can go through the bars, and get on the floor. Not fun. - Adding to that, poo is difficult to clean off of the bars. I need to train my ferret better! If your ferret has no problems with litter boxes, you have nothing to worry about! - The doors can be loud. Sometimes I close them and the metal sound scares my ferret. Might just be a problem for my particular ferret. Not loud if you're careful, though! - They can climb the bars. Not a problem for me, my ferret just climbs level to level, but if you have a ferret who chews on things close to their cage, it might be a problem. ASSEMBLY AND SHIPPING: - It says no tools required. I think you need a rubber mallet, and pliers. It comes with a little metal screwdriver. We used a regular sized one, but if you didn't have one I'm sure it would work fine. - YOU NEED AT LEAST 2 PEOPLE TO PUT IT TOGETHER. Unless you're superhuman, you'll need someone to hold a lot of things in place. (if you have been able to build this on your own, you're amazing!) - You have to put some of the sides into place by hammering them in, which is why I think a rubber mallet would be helpful. We couldn't be bothered to find one so we used a tennis shoe. That worked fine. - It is HEAVY! We carried it upstairs, and it's a two person job! They delivery guys had to bring it to our doorstep on a dolly! - Make sure you read all the way through before assembling. There were times we had to backtrack and take sides off to put other sides on. - Doesn't take long to put together. - It is loud to put together, which should be expected. Imagine metal hitting metal. Maybe don't put it together at night. - The box was damaged, but nothing inside was. I expected that because shipping a big object is difficult. - The box had stables in the sides of it to keep it closed. We used pliers to take them out. I don't think there's any other way to take them out! Great cage, seems like it will last a while. I would highly recommend this cage! ... show more

  • Solid quality, generally easy to setup, great accessibility Solid quality, generally easy to setup, great accessibility
Size: Double Story Color: Sliver
We have two ferrets, but they aren't free roaming 100% of the time because we have other pets, so I had wanted to upgrade their cage for a bit to give them more space while they were in their cage, and this was the #1 recommended cage on forums when I looked into them, so I figured I would give it a try. This is a perfect setup for us. Plenty of space for both ferrets, lots of options for how to setup the levels, the trays and stairs are perfect (and it came with washable stair covers for them, which was a nice surprise), and everything in the cage is so easy to access. The double doors that swing open wide make cleaning so easy, and everything was easy to setup inside without any issues. Putting this together actually wasn't the worst experience, either. I did it by myself and it took me maybe 45mins, thought it was awkward at some parts where it would be easier to balance certain trays or panels with another person. Only issue I had was a single screw on the bottom didn't fit because apparently they didn't drill the hole large enough, so I had to zip tie the tray to the sides, which was fine. Considering the price tag on this, stupid mistakes like that are annoying, but the entire rest of the cage went together super easily and without any other issues, so overall, it wasn't a deal-breaker. I did wait until this was on sale for Thanksgiving, and it was $110 less than the current price, so if you're waiting to get this, Black Friday was a perfect time, honestly. Well worth it, we absolutely love the cage. ... show more

  • Well Engineered, Badly manufactured, Housed 12 young rabbits successfully Well Engineered, Badly manufactured, Housed 12 young rabbits successfully
Size: Double Story Color: Sliver
We have a rabbitry. I purchased this last fall (a three story cage) to put in the garage for sick buns or raising orphans or such, where I want to be able to keep a close eye on them all day long. I didn't put it together until recently though when Covid19 struck, the high school closed, and we had to very quickly move all the FFA meat rabbits meant for our county fair to our house. We hurriedly put it together and ended up using it to raise a mixed litter of 12 NZs and Calis. This product was not meant for this, and there have been some challenges, but I still couldn't be more happy with my purchase. The bunnies are active and (relatively) rough, and it has held up very well. (I wouldn't recommend putting this many rabbits in this cage long term though. It really isn't large enough, but desperate times...) My daughter and I put it together in an hour or so. It wasn't hard at all. I'd read the reviews and was prepared for it to be much worse. Each level had at least one panel whose peg was not set straight. A couple of taps with a hammer straightened them and solved the problem. The final product is very sturdy and well made. The knobs on the front don't line up, but they do shut securely. It definitely needs pee guards for rabbits. The first rabbit I put in it was an older buck who potty-trained right away but even he tended to miss occasionally and poop all over the place. The younger rabbits only sort of potty-trained (they much prefer to sleep in their toilet and poop right next to it). I wrapped the cage in plastic to try to help, but I'm going to have to find a way to add pee guards for future use. I cover the pans in fleece or old towels (towels work better, more absorbent). Changing them out is pretty easy. To keep it clean now that the buns are bigger (currently 4.5 lbs), I have to change out the towels daily. It takes about 10 minutes if I move the buns first. The pans all come in and out easily. I started off having the three levels closed to each other (so 4 buns per level) but they pretty quickly figured out how to unhook the ladders so that they could go visiting. There are ways around this (turn the upper pans) but I decided to let them all live together. The holes between levels are small and I doubt they will be able to get through them for more than a few more weeks, but a mini-rex sized rabbit would do just fine. The metal ladders are great and the buns use them. The plastic ladders are crappy. The plastic ladders tie with fabric onto the cage; the buns chewed them loose. Since buns don't actually need the ladders I tossed the plastic ones. One of the reasons I wanted to try this cage was the double opening doors. I really like that. It's much easier to get a buns out than the traditional wire cage hole. The buns can go from the bottom level to the very top in no time at all. In evaluating the buns, my daughter says they've got great back muscling from all the climbing. That's definitely another benefit of this cage. Overall, I'm very pleased with this cage! ... show more

  • Good cage - Assembly not fun - Some manufacturing defects
Size: Double Story Color: Sliver
I once had a cage like this that was foldable, so this is my first experience with one build this heavily. The instructions are awful. If the parts were labeled, this would be a much easier process. As it is, you are moving around sharp, heavy pieces trying to figure out which goes where. After you put the base together, it mostly comes together pretty fast. Like MANY other people, we also ran into some piece not fitting together quite right. A mallet worked for that. Once it was fully assembled, like so many other people experience - the top doors do not align properly and we cannot close the left one without giving it an extra manual push. We tried flipping the doors and it didn't help. Not the worse, but given that so many other people have the same issue, for years... It would be nice if they would fix that. Also, one of the shelf plastic shelf covers is warped - like everyone said. Not sure if that is a problem long term. Other than this, it seems nice, spacious, and should last. ... show more

  • Fantastic cage :) Fantastic cage :)
Size: Double Story Color: Sliver
To give some background, I've had a total of 4 ferrets overall and have had 2 cages, one very long multifloored cage I bought on amazon for $70 and one large 1-floor cage. My multifloored cage broke after a couple years and kept the single floor one. I recently bought a new ferret after the last of my initial trio passed away. I upgraded to the ferret nation cage after my new ferret broke through the old one story cage several times. Ive had ferret owners in the past tell me to just skip all other cages and to buy a ferret nation. At that time, years ago, it was almost $400 and far from my budget at the time. This time around I had some extra money and, in dire need of a new cage, I went ahead and ordered the ferret nation after I saw amazon had it for $210, which, although still seemingly expensive, for the quality cage that you get, it's worth every single penny. After reading some comments, I expected my cage to have dents and scratches and what not. Glad to say that the cage had very few bar dents that were manageable. The instructions state no tools required but I highly recommend you use a mallet to secure the cage walls down and a power drill on first clutch, unless you want to be there all day with the Phillips that they provided you and figuring out how to level the walls without damaging said walls. In conclusion, spare yourself from the frusteration of other cages and just shell out the cash for this one. It has the potential to house 4 large ferrets very comfortably or more smaller ones. Plenty of space for your critters and honestly not to bad of a price. I keep the floors bare so that I can wipe them down every day and minimize smell and bought hammocks on amazon for a steal - 2 for $12. With some previous accessories and the new hammocks, the cage is pretty much accesorized and looks great. ... show more

—November 2020— ***UPDATE 8 Months Later*** šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ˜šŸ„°šŸ„° After purchasing this amazing 2 shelve cage, I upgraded to a 3 story and I absolutely LOVE it even more!! This cage has never failed me in the 8 months I’ve had it. My Ferrets have PLENTY of room!! The bottom is still the ā€œbathroom areaā€ and the top 2 stories are their play/sleep area. I’ve had to move this cage TWICE already and had no issues taking it apart and putting it back together by myself — I did not need any help. I just wanted to Update and say that it’s still a wonderful Cage and I have never been SO happy to have spent this kind of Money on anything before. It is still 5 Stars for me!!! (I also added 2 new Photo’s showing the 3 stories.) šŸ˜ —March 2020— I keep seeing bad reviews about how the doors aren’t even, or how it’s hard to put together. It definately took me and another person to put this together but it was SO easy! The doors are ALREADY installed, they work perfectly so I have no idea why anyone is complaining about the doors. We struggled with one part (the middle section) and we basically had to push really hard to get one of the pegs into the hole. but that was it! Everything else was so simple!!! šŸ™ƒ This cage is so STURDY and well Built!! My Ferrets sleep on the top and they poo and pee on the bottom where I have their litter box. I haven’t had it two weeks and they already have a routine down. šŸ˜ When I clean it, I pull up a chair, have a bowl with soap and water, a trash can and easily pull the bottom tray halfway out (while blocking my fur babies upstairs) and wipe everything down, I put a puppy pad down and their litter box on top and tada!! Cleannn. I can’t imagine it getting any easier! 🄰 In a few days I’ll be washing all their blankets ect and putting them back in but honestly their blankets aren’t even dirty cause their litter trained. I put their water and food on the very top half shelf. It’s just a perfect cage! I couldn’t imagine using a different one!!! 😘 !!!5 Stars in my Book!!! 😘 ... show more

Best ferret purchase I’ve made. I originally purchased a wooden ferret cage, big mistake. It was difficult to clean, cramped, and smells absorbed into the wood. This has made my life much easier. The girls have room to play when they’re not out and it’s very easy to clean. I was able to put it together myself, though it would be faster with 2 people. It has held up beautifully for the last year and it has many more to go. Maybe a little pricey, but worth it for how well it’s built. ... show more
