Disappointed in quality
The cage has function for it's size, shape, and double doors but it arrived in a heavily damaged box from chewy. It has multiple manufacturing flaws, the coating is chipped off and bars are bent and welded in crooked. In many areas it was like the coating wasn't allowed to dry before packing. It took a rubber mallet to assemble and reshape multiple pieces. there was not a piece that was in good condition, all had coating issues. The trays were warped, took time in sun to reshape to lay semi flat. Disappointed. Ordered for a ferret, bars are as described so the cage is suitable for rats, including young rats.
great cage for 3 male rats
Some pieces did come a little bent, but it was shipped in pieces in a box, that's bound to happen. My boyfriend was able to bend everything into place and we got it all set up pretty quickly. The boys have a great time running all about this 2 story cage. Easy to clean too!
Lots of work
This cage was the most time consuming thing I've done in one day. I had to take it apart 3 different times. One of the panels was broke so I had to unbend/ fix it. I was missing a few different pieces. Panel bars were bent. It's definitely a big cage, which I wanted. And fast shipping. But overall, plan on at least 2 hrs to put it together.
Overhyped.
I've heard nothing but good things about this cage before I bought it. It's quite spacious, exactly as advertised, and shipped in 2 days. Plenty of room for toys, hides, food bowls, etc. However, the box arrived in a fairly rough condition, with damage and dust. It was clearly stored in a warehouse for months before shipping. Some of the wire was bent slightly, though not enough to be unusable. The parts also struggled to go together in some places and were extremely difficult to build. There doesn't appear to be anything to hold the trays to the wire mesh, and there is a nearly 1 inch gap between the wire and tray on the upper floor. Some of the wire even has little sharp bits that poke out and may need to be sanded down. When I finished assembly, my fingers were coated in a black dust. I expect higher quality from a $300 product.
Great, BUT...
The cage is great. We are replacing an older one that we had bought used for our ferret, and figured that we should go with something familiar. The only issue was that many of the side pieces of the cage were difficult to place because of bent pegs that required tools to get them unbent. Either parts of the cage were not measured correctly or assembled correctly before packing. These were not issues caused by any sort of damage from travel. Other than that, the cage is sturdy once built, clean, and roomy.
Beware of bent parts
This is a wonderful cage, best of the market! It’s just a shame the parts were bent. Luckily my husband took a hammer and bent some back to shape so it would ring the holes, but we shouldn’t have to do this with something labeled as “no tools needed”. It’s not easy to assemble as one person and you will need another to hold things in place. Not to mention the instructions are printed in black and white and the pictures are blurry, dark, and unhelpful.
Sturdy Cage
Our cage arrived in great condition, not bent or hard to put together. Took my husband less than an hour putting it together by himself. It is a very sturdy cage and perfect for our four young rats. I like the storage rack below it and sturdy enough to put things on top as well.
Excellent Cage
Worth the price. It was easy to set up and allows maximum space for small animals. It also can be expanded upwards by adding sections which is a bonus. I highly recommend this cage
Great cage, quick shipping.
Haven't gotten my rats yet, but the cage is up and ready. Much easier to put together with two people. We did have to bend a couple pieces slightly and used a mallet a couple of times but it went together nicely. I got custom scatter guards from pet revolutions to keep any debris from being kicked out of the cage.
Could not fully assemble cage
I could not finish assembling the cage. One of the side pieces were bent and would not fit into square slot. I was fortunate enough to have a spare critter nation and used a piece from that to finish it.
