Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an awesome cage for the money. Despite what you may read on other sites this cage very easy to assemble if, you pay attention to the pieces. There truly is only one way to connect them correctly, as there are no universal holes drilled in any side. A bottom is clearly a bottom and a side is clearly a side. This does not mean you CANNOT put the top section side panel on the bottom, but it will be obvious because there will be no hole on top. As far as the construction, it is sturdy and has stood up to a year of feisty ferret abuse. The baked on enamel coating has not chipped and there is no rust forming anywhere. The clip that holds the tray will work its way loose if you do not keep an eye on it and will fall off. A single screw attaches it so it really is not an issue to put back on. The spacing between the bars is perfect for good footing but too small for entrapment, which is of concern for cages with wire frame floors. All floor seams are solid and overlap so there is no danger of the ferret escaping or being trapped between the side panels. The shelves do not have a positive click to give you the comfort that they are secure but maintain their position well. I recommend a fuzzy floor hammock across the top as this has been a big hit with my sable ferret who has hated every cage but this one. The side mesh seems a bit flimsy across the top due to the limited number of welds but shows no sign of buckling or fractures so no issue there. One note is the door locking mechanism does not have a positive locking feature by default. You must engage the latch and slide it to the left to prevent the handle from being raised. If you do not engage this feature then the ferret after close observation will learn that all he has to do is pull up on the "shiny thing" that of course, he is interested in and it is party time. In addition, the top level can be sealed off with an included panel to allow two individual domiciles for either another ferret or a play area. There is plenty of space and the wire floor allows and wasted food or litter to fall safely into the tray below. Cedar chip bedding works great as it prevents insect infestation and provides odor suppression without coming in contact with the ferret's delicate skin. The lower rack works great for bulk food storage and supplies. No negatives just areas that could be improved to have a perfect product. Still gets a five star based upon all the cages I have shopped around prior to purchasing this one. I am very satisfied with it.
