Prevue Pet Products Rat & Chinchilla Critter Cage, 31-in

This cage is pretty nice. It was a bit frustrating to put together, and arrived with a small broken part, but the Prevue company was quick to replace it free of charge. My 3 rats have plenty of space in here and I could see having up to 4 or 5 (if they're females) in this cage. The only thing I'm quickly realizing I don't like is the door. It's small compared to the front side of the cage, so sometimes its hard to reach in and arrange the cage or catch more skittish rats. I can't even imagine somebody trying to grab a chinchilla out of here as you can't even reach in with two hands at the same time.

I am sad to say I am very disappointed in this product for chinchillas, even though the description states it's a good habitat for them. The pros are the size in managerial for a smaller space, and I like the storage area on the bottom. However, the cons outweigh the pros. First, Penny, our chin chewed through 2 of the bars the first night. Also, the cage is very hard to clean because it only opens in the front. Penny is a timid chin who was rescued from a kill farm, so having only one way in makes it easy for her to escape. What would be wonderful is if it also had an opening on the top, even if just on one side. The ramps don't fit in snug, so when she jumps its extremely loud - like metal I am sad to say I am very disappointed in this product for chinchillas, even though the description states it's a good habitat for them.

I can't afford to buy a different cage right now, but when I can I will go back to the taller style with 2-3 levels of chinchilla fun :) We let her run around the bathroom since the floor is tile, and she's able to keep her body temp cool. I will still buy from Chewy, but I think when it comes to buying cages I'll have to see them in person. I would say this is would be a great habitat for pet rats. Perfect size. … more

Loved the cage itself, but the bottom tray warped after a couple months use, since then it doesnt slide under the bottom on the guide rails. I had to put it on the inside of the cage, which isn't easy for cleaning.

My chin loves his new home! I just adopted him and he went from a single level cage to this multi level and he loves to explore it and he likes hiding under the ramps. It was super easy to assemble however the box was very awkward to carry up to my third floor apartment so keep that in mind when you order :)

I recently got this for my rats and they love all the room they have. It can fit a lot of rat cage essentials with plenty of space left over. I ended up taking the grille out and replacing it with the tray to avoid getting their feet stuck. The bars did come a little bent but they were easy to bend back in to place. The assembly is easier than you would think for its size, and it's very sturdy.

I bought this cage for my chinchilla that I would be taking to college. It’s a down size from his cage at home but so far it’s great! Instructions might seem confusing but cage is easy to set up and figure out (and I’m terrible at following instructions or building anything). I definitely wouldn’t recommend putting more than 1 chinchilla in the cage and id say make sure this isn’t their permanent cage and you let them out a lot. Only negative is with the pull out pan you put a wire floor over it which isn’t good for their feet, but you don’t have to put that wire flooring and make sure u set the pull out pan on the highest one so there isn’t a gap for your animal to get out.

Mine is an escape artist and hasn’t gotten out by doing it this way and I was able to fit his wheel into the cage and overall very good and cheapest one/best one I could find and would very much recommend! … more

I put this together drunk by myself after a wedding at 1 a.m., easiest assembly ever. The rats LOVE having so much more space, and you can either cover the wire floor with fabric bedding or swap places between the floor and the plastic tray to protect your fur babies' feet :)

This all-metal crate solved the problem of the rats chewing the plastic (obviously!), but also provides a multi-level play and sleep area, with easy-to-clean waste removal. We also like that it is a nice size for our two rats, Remi and Emil. :)

This cage is great. Lots bigger than I thought it was! My 3 rats have lots of play space in it. Easy to clean and really durable. I only give it 4/5 because when it arrived, there were obvious punctures in the box, and when I opened it, some of the bars of the cage were bent. But, it was easy to bend the bars back in place. So overall, great quality.

Plenty of room for one chinchilla to run around and climb, she loves it.
