Kaytee Deluxe Multi-Level Ferret Home

I bought this exact cage for my ferret at a pet supply plus store. Let's just say I like the cage except for 2 things; the doors won't stay on, at some point I have to tighten the pieces that hold the door to the cage. Second would be that the ramps won't stay down so no matter what my ferret has to jump down a little, instead of going down the ramp. I am going to call the place I bought it at and see what they suggest. Also I bought the cage for like $169, so not much difference compared to here. But other than that, it's a good cage to start them off with.

I purchased this same cage from a retail store when I first got my two ferrets. It lasted a few months, but exhibited several issues before I replaced it with the Ferplast two story; the platforms came slightly bent towards the middle which was not helped by the ferrets walking across them, and the hinges on the doors broke so I had to tie them to the cage. The spiral staircase bent and fell off the cage very often, and no matter what way I assembled the platforms, the ramp at the bottom never quite touched the base of the cage. The size is another issue. It worked alright for my two small females as they have about 12-14 hours of time outside their cage per day.

This cage was okay for a temporary cage, but I recommend investing in something a bit more expensive because the quality will be infinitely better. … more

I purchased this to house two ferrets. After placing the ferrets in the cage and locking all three doors (even used the red lock mechanism), I stepped away and came back to be greeted by one ferret outside of the cage - its head fit between the space created where the sections are hinged. Unrelated but the ramps need additional padding to provide any grip for their paws. A wire was snapped and required repair. Otherwise an alright product for a critter that isn’t as escape-prone as a ferret. That said, for my purposes I returned it immediately and would not recommend.

I purchased this to replace one that was 13 years old and the plastic had disintegrated. That alone should be a recommendation, however the new version is not all good. The special latches for the doors do not work, after calling the company and speaking to 4 people, one who called another specialist, they couldn't solve my problem of the latches not working. I solved the problem by taking the doors off of the old cage and replacing the "special doors". Additionally, there were a couple of bent pieces that had to be recurved to allow the cage to close on top. All this being said, the quality of the plastic and the metal seem improved. I would caution anyone buying this if they needed the I purchased this to replace one that was 13 years old and the plastic had disintegrated.

I should have listened to the reviews. This product is total crap. I've had pet chinchillas for the past 11 years and I can tell you that this cage is worth $50 at most. Do not waste your time.

When I received this it was damaged and had no instructions.

This cage all in all is beautiful, and every pampered rodent deserves a nice home. However... The instructions sent with my cage weren't even for the right cage. I was able to sort of guess how things went, but even so the instructions weren't very great, especially when it came to adding the ramps and slide. I ended up building this by looking at the box and the pictures on Chewy's website. A large pain and inconvenience, but the cage itself (AND CHEWY) are great.

The cage was harder to put together then anticipated. The instructions should probably be more clear especially the “diagrams”. I like the fact that the cage is tall and has a bunch of room. I just didn’t like the fact that the doors will fall off and they have to constantly be held while you’re doing something.

Was a tad bit hard to put slide together and get the ramps on my ferret took seconds to get the lower ramp off hard to clean you have to remove the shelf’s to be able to reach all over them and we have a hard time latching the bottom door from the start we try switching doors but still have the same problem. Because the cage is tall not a lot of place to hang hammock or other toys but it keeps him safe and that what I want
