Metal Small Animal Cage, 4-Tiers Rolling Big Ferret Cage with Hammock, Removable Tray, for Chinchilla, Sugar Glider, Gray

It was a bit of a challenge to put together but the instructions are clear so long as you're paying attention to the panel letters and the wording on the instructions. One of the panels, however, refused to fit into place. It was Top Back Panel D. I had to bend it to then proceed to hammer it into place. No other parts were bent or otherwise deformed. After that, everything was an absolute breeze to put together and set up. It's lightweight and the wheels will make it a joy to move and clean as needed. I doubt it's going to fall over at any point which makes it very safe around my puppy. I'm very happy with it. It's the perfect space for my three rats. They're settling in and enjoying it so I would definitely recommend it to others. It's pretty tall. I'm 5'2 and it settles just under my chest so don't worry about 3-4 rats feeling cramped in it.

I just got this & had it set up today (Jan, 24,2023). I bought it on the 20th & it arrived in 4 days with everything it's supposed to come with. The instructions were clear, had good pics, & took my husband about 30 mins to build. If you're getting this for a ferret, it looks like you might need to put grip tape down or covers for the ramp so it can get up & down. I dont have mine yet so i dont know for sure yet. The wheels work well & have locks. The doors all open & shut. The latches are decent but i may get something for better security. I also have kids so thats why.. It's very spacious & plenty of room for 2 ferrets. I wouldn't put in more than 2 although I'm sure you could. This seems to be a good cage. Others reviews say this cage is great all around for it's price & that it holds their animal without fail so I'm hoping that's true too. The only problem I have is that fed ex smashed my cage during transport and some of the panels & bars are bent. The damage is so minimal that I'm not going to bother w contacting anyone. If you're out shopping for a new cage, I hope my review helps you.

**Edited Dec 16th to add a photo of the base I had to make myself, out of sheet metal Background: bought this for my rats! The bar width is perfect and it's big enough to house two adult rats comfortably (maybe 3, but that might get a bit cozy). The only thing that is an issue is the tray at the bottom that my rats will certainly chew through/escape out of (more about that later). Assembly: Based on prior reviews, I knew that this could be a challenge to assemble, so I was prepared for that - and I recommend others kind of anticipate that as well. Even with two professors of technical communication working on this, the instructions were NOT the easiest. We ultimately figured it out, though, and it came together surprisingly well. The instructions totally forgot to mention two bars that go at the bottom to not only secure the tray but also to further secure the screw holding the wheels in place. Luckily, that part of the assembly was pretty intuitive, but it still included myself and my friend going "Yaaaay we're done!" then "Wait, what are those two pieces for?" and looking through the instructions again in vain before just figuring it out on our own. Status of all the pieces: I know that others who've purchased this product have complained of missing or bent pieces, but I think we had one small lip that was a bit bent, but it wasn't anything that affected the overall cage (and we tapped it back into shape anyway with a mallet). Some of the holes for the screws also had a bit of flack inside, but scraping that out didn't take much effort (we just used the little screwing tool... whatever it's called... that was included). Accessories: It comes with three shelves and 3 ramps, and the instructions for those are pretty specific, actually! The shelves and ramps were still a particular challenge. I definitely recommend putting in the shelves BEFORE putting on the top of the case, no matter what the instructions say, because then you get a lot more arm room. That way can also put on the ramps BEFORE putting the shelves into place. Good lord, we just about screamed as those shelves, and if I ever have to put them back in I might cry. Not really an accessory, but the doors are really nice, in my opinion. Biggest issue: the bottom tray is SO DREADFULLY INSECURE. Like, mine falls out. One wiggle and it slips free and falls to the floor. We thought we just had it in wrong, but if we turned it around, then it doesn't fit at all. The cage is square (19 3/8 x 19 3/8 on the inside)... but the tray is not. It's also plastic and even when it fits, there's a gap, and since I'm aiming to put rats in here, I already planned to make my own base tray out of sheet-metal. If you get one where the tray fits better, the natural gap isn't big enough for a rat to squeeze through, but they will definitely be eager to start chewing right there. So I hate the tray, but I knew before I bought it that I'd be replacing/augmenting that. **Edit: I bought some sheet metal, bent it to fit, took the top back off and removed ALL of the levels+ramps, and lowered my handmade tray down in. It's not removable (not without me gutting the cage again and probably crying), but it's massively more stable and my rats will NOT be escaping. So even though the bottom tray for mine didn't fit, it is fixable with a few hours work and $15 worth of sheet metal. Overall: pretty happy with it, having come into this with low expectations. It's sturdy and looks really nice with the dark-grey coated metal, big enough for 2 rats, and my only real complaint is the base tray being so incredibly badly fitting. Could this be because I put something together wrong? Absolutely. Like I said, the instructions were more like general suggestions with photo evidence. I'll try to update once I get the bottom tray re-made and rats in it to give it a real "test drive."

I am quite pleased with this purchase. For the size and compared to other items on the market, it was the best value. It is stable and spacious. My rat loves it and I believe it would be a great habitat for up to 3 rats. Degus and ferrets would likely need metal reinforcing for the plastic tray at the bottom, but otherwise a solid buy. Im a middle aged woman with little engineering knowledge and put it together myself no problem in under 45 minutes.

This cage was a decent value. Putting it together was difficult alone, but doable, however, putting in the shelves is a horrendous experience. Fitting them in according to directions was rough, as they barely fit through the doors and the ramps falling off constantly was ridiculous. All of that to find out I have a broken bar that will need to be secured-because to be honest, I would rather do that than take this whole thing apart to return it. Cool idea for a cage, lots of space, but big thumbs down for ease of assembly and for the broken wire.

Bought this for a friend for their bunny, easy to assemble, spacious! Bunny is comfortable

Not easy to put together. And very awkward layout when needing to clean it. It's strange the clean out part comes out on the side not in the front. Other than that it is fine. Nice a spacious.

Straight forward assembly, holds up nicely, good size, I’d say it’s worth the money. The hammock is a cheap thin material but I had my own to use anyway & didn’t buy it for the hammock, so not a flaw in my eyes.

I hate this cage with all of my being. I didn't realize the bottom was only a plastic tray, with a big gap. I had to put elastics so it sits higher. Also, the fact that it is only plastic means any rodent will eventually chew its way though. A plastic shelf came broken and I got no reply from customer support. After a few weeks only, one of the legs broke, so we have to put a book under it. Also, the tiny freaking doors make it impossible to clean the cage. It's such a freaking hassle and I hate my life every evening when it's time to clean it. If you can, avoid this cage. At all cost. Living with the anxiety that your pets will escape and the hatred of cleaning is definitely not worth it.

It’s been about 9 months since I got this still holding up strong and my rat loves it
