Huge cage, but has flaws
I've owned older versions of the critter nation and ferret nation cages in the past and they were great so when looking for a cage my first stop was critter nation. I love the size of the cage and the fact that the top and bottom open fully for easy cleaning. I also like that it has horizontal and vertical bars for my critter to climb on. It was difficult to put together though. Some of the pieces didn't line up right so had to be tweaked a bit to get the pegs to hit the holes. There were also several bent parts. One of the hooks on a shelf was bent so far in that you couldn't attach it. I had to get a pry bar to get it bent open enough to hang in place. The plastic trays seem a bit flimsy as well. Overall the size is wonderful, but with the price I expected better. If I could do over I might do more research before purchasing.

    Love it except for these issues
    I do kitten rescue and it took a long time to convince myself to spend the money on this. I mostly love it BUT it was a headache to assemble. Too many corners had to be forced together with a hammer. I can't use half of the clips for the ramps because the powder coating on the ends is too thick and the clips won't slide on. The doors don't line up. There are gaps at the top of the right doors on both levels. For this kind of money, I was not expecting these issues.

    Worth the extra money over the cheap cages.
    Great cage, very well built, and sturdy, pans are heavy duty and I doubt will ever crack. I have bought the cages that are half the price and animals escape, parts are bent out of the box and very cheaply made, you get what you pay for, but this why the 4 stars... 3 of the 4 pans were slightly warped, I know from experience when the temps get 100 degrees to put the pans in the sun and they will straighten out. I wish the manufacturer would put stickers with the part letter on them. This would have saved 10 minutes putting it together. For some reason, the cage door does not line up and the latch handles are off, just cosmetics. If I need another cage, I would definitely invest the money in this one.

    Durable and heavy-duty, but the pans aren't great
    I use this cage as two cages for groups of rats. The pans in my photo are NOT included with this cage. I had to order them from another company. (The cage comes with textured flat plastic trays that do not hold litter.) This is the best cage on the market for many types of critters, and definitely for rats. It is a heavy piece of furniture (over 100 lbs and over five feet tall), so expect to build it and leave it in place. The doors open wide for easy cleaning and easy access to pets and accessories. It can be used as designed or you can modify it to your pets' needs. You can leave out the middle platform for a tall open cage or you can block off the middle opening to create two cages. Some tips that will help make this excellent housing: 1. Have a rubber mallet or hammer on hand for assembly. Every unit I've bought has slightly bent pieces that need adjusted to fit together. 2. Use plastic cable ties to hold the ramps, not the included velcro. 3. Unless you plan to lay down blankets and have litterbox trained pets that don't chew, replace the flimsy plastic trays with something deeper, more durable, and easier to clean (grime sticks to the textured plastic).

    Disappointed on this one
    This is the second cage from this company and I gave it 3 stars for this. One they changed the ramps to plastic and put velcro to hold it. First it's for small animals like rats and guess what rats will chew on. Second the welding on the doors was bad one broken and the door sagged I had to fit it and when paying 250 for a cage you don't want to fix it brand new out the box. And finally it came with broken trays and they alone cost 100 dollars to replace 130 to replace them all. The broken rack could cut my rat and take toes off. The older one I had was fantastic but if they can fix this and I mean midwest not walmart they just sell it not make it. Then I will find a better company if I keep rats for years to come. It's a shame you these cages on a whole are fantastic but it they slack on the quality or making them then no point.

    Large, roamy and perfect
    Superb product. Best cage ever! It's huge! I don't recommend moving it alone. It's very heavy. But after about two hours of putting it together it was very easy to move because it has wheels! My rats love their upgraded home. What I really like is the whole that separates the top and bottom cage can be shut off by using the hook to raise a ramp. This is great because my rat on top cage can't be with the other boys.

    Awesome chinchilla cage bigger than expected
    Assembly instructions could be better but other than that it's a awesome chinchilla cage. Our cinder loves her mansion. Delivery From Walmart was faster than amazon too. Just buy it already.
