Looking for a bigger cage for my guinea pig. Was wondering if it would work well

Answer by DianaSep 09, 2025
I have 3 guinea pigs in this cage and they love it. Only 2 use the ramps, and they have no trouble going up and down.

How big is the spacing of the cage bars?

Answer by ChewyJan 12, 2026
The wire spacing on the MidWest Critter Nation Deluxe Small Animal Cage is 1/2 inch x 5 3/8 inches.

how many rats can live in the single story?

Answer by ChewyJul 31, 2018
The general rule of thumb for rat cage size is at least 2 cubic feet of space per rat. This cage can hold around 3 to 4 rats.

Are the shelves metal or plastic? Our chinchilla chews through the plastic shelves so looking for something more durable

Answer by ChewyMay 21, 2018
This Cage has wide expanse shelves with full width plastic pan floors to provide maximum play area and to prevent dangerous falls.

I absolutely love my Critter Nation cage! The quality is outstanding it feels very sturdy and secure, which gives me peace of mind for my chins. The spacious design makes it easy for them to move around, explore, and play, and I really like that the shelves and ramps are adjustable so I can set it up however works best. Cleaning is super simple thanks to the wide doors and removable trays. It’s definitely worth the investment, and I can tell it will last for years. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a safe, roomy, and well built home for their little ones!

This habitat is huge, which is great and also annoying. The black trays come out easily and are easy to wash. You can separate the upstairs from downstairs which is great when you need to keep critters separate or contain them while you're cleaning the other side. We've used other habitats and had trouble with the doors opening or the wire spacing being too big. This one is great for both of those issues. It's heavy and took some work to put together, but is easy to move on the wheels once it's together.

I bought the double story for my guinea pigs and they love it! The only downside is bedding can easily fall out but they are super happy with the space and have no trouble going up and down the ramps.

Sturdy and well put together.

Good design, a couple pieces came slightly bent but easy fix, sturdy and tightly fit for a long lasting cage.

It was very difficult to assemble this cage and I had to use a hammer to get pieces to fit together at times. I still feel like it leans to one side. It is a good size for my rats, though, and I like how the shelves have spaces to hang things on the bottom of them. I wish the ramp covers were fleece, though, because one of my rats chewed right through it.

Easy to connect

I’ve already had the cage with two other stories and I was making my cage three stories tall and I absolutely love how this cage you expand it. I’ve seen others take the wall off and make it side-by-side larger. I specifically use this cage for chinchillas the only thing I wouldmention is the floor is easily to be put upside down and then your Kind of screwed because it’s a tight fit.
