Ware Chew Proof Small Animal Cage, 25-in

Metal frame is low grade, paint chipped out of the box on the frame/pan and side latches need some bending to ensure a tighter grip. I searched high and low to find a habitat for my hamster that had a lot of floor space and depth. However, the pans depth is only 2", but the width is 25". Chewy was kind enough to send a replacement cage and upon opening it, I discovered the same issues. This is not a packaging issue, but manufacturer defects. I know how hard it is to find a cage large enough for your hamster to romp and play. Side note: the pan is metal, not plastic. Overall, this cage served its purpose until I found the cage with the depth and length I needed.

I needed a sturdy metal cage that my mother rat could not chew out of. It’s nothing fancy but it serves the purpose at a great cost. Depending on the rat the door latch may seem easy to open so I just use a small binder clip as a precaution to lock the door. She loves to escape. She has chewed through expensive plastic fancy cages. The bars on this cage are comparable to other $60. Plastic cages that I have had. I an happy with my purchase and would recommend.

I ordered two of these as maternity cages for my rats. They seem like they'll be amazing temporary cages for maternity, but I believe one of my cages came used. Lots of scratches, some weird brown substance in it, and quite a few dents. The other cage is fine, minus a couple tiny scratches, I assume from transport.

Not 100% big enough but still enough for a small dwarf hamster. The hamster I received as a foster was in a 10 gallon aquarium so this is a good upgrade. Easy to assemble and besides the sides not going all the way to the corners of the base I recommend the cage. Base is bigger than cage size. Seems secure.

I found this cage very easy to assemble the only issues I find is that the door snap should be a little better and the base should be able to fit perfectly I have about a gap of an inch extra, but at the same time you paid what you get if you want something cheap you will get something cheap

This cage came in the mail very nice but the wire came defected. Such as there is no hoop to attach the side hooks to the wire too stay up like it is shown in the picture

I have a senior rat that has a very hard time getting around now and this cage is perfect for her. I wouldn't recommend this for any other rat, but for a senior? This works.

The metal base of this cage was bent in one corner and a wire on the top of the cage was also bent. The cage was not at all easy to assemble because it's a struggle to unfold the side panels because the little hooks are in the way (behind the front and back panels). Once you've got them open (and you will likely need pliers, as I did), they may be bent from the struggle. Then the cage is missing a handle so there is no way to carry it easily. The hooks on either side that hold the wires to the base are rather loose. Also the opening to the cage does not have a good fastener. It is really not a very well-designed cage at all.

I got this cage because one of my rats was exhibiting hormonal aggression. It's a decent small cage. Of course, it's not really big enough for more than one rat, and a rat should only be alone in exceptional circumstances. It'd be great for travel, though. The quality is pretty low, but for the low price it's great. The rat I keep in it has not managed to escape or injure himself with this cage.

If your small critter runs around a lot in it all the hay and dropping go out of the cage
