 Good as a Shell of a Cage November 20, 2008
I <3 my Chin
So I'm the kind of 'mom' that spoils her little one. I got this cage for my chinchilla. Now before I purchased it, I read the reviews so in advance I was aware of the flaws, like how the shelves have a small gap in between the wire and the plastic flooring where the toes can get caught, and yes, watch out they that gap makes me cringe. Also I don't like the ramps since they are just made of wire and toes can get caught there as well.
So my plans for this cage is to put sleep-n-ledges, and make my own long ledges and ramps out of 'chin-friendly' wood. On top of that, I'm going to put in a nesting box so there is a small dark place at the top of the cage he can sleep. Once all of that is done, this cage is going to be great. Its super tall and has lots of ample running space.
Overall, I would only recommend this to someone that plans on adding their own shelves and ramps.
Great cage- flimsy tray November 11, 2008
Robert M. Baker (McKinleyville, CA USA)
I have a pair of chinchilla that love this cage. The big double doors are easy to open and make it easy to clean. They run up and down the levels all night, and it is big enough to fit the extra large wheel chinchillas need. The tray is shallow and flimsy, and the chins make a huge mess daily because the cage doesn't have a containment system for the shavings. In a shallow tray with no wire floor they run around in the shavings and kick everything over the side. The construction is sturdy, and the wheels make it easy to pull the cage out to vacuum up all the mess. I don't know if ferrets would be as rowdy in the chips, but a wire floor over the tray would have made this the perfect cage.
 Very nice cage November 10, 2008

I purchased this crate for 3 small kittens. It is very nice, easy to clean and the kittens love it. It also accomodates the mother cat easily and all can move from the top to bottom easily for exercise. Much easier to clean than the regular cat crate.
You can't get anything better unless your pet has a saw in its mouth October 26, 2008
Mark Twain (Illinois, USA)
We has owned this one over 3 years. So far both our chinchilla and us love it! Our chinchilla loves to chew anything that will fit in its mouth and he seems very disappointed after he first moved to his new home. The frame is very hard and solid. So far the paint still looks like new! Appearantly the manufacturer did a very good job.
By the way, our cage is four stories high and our chinchilla really loves it. It gives him plenty of room to have his own Olympic games every day and every night.
The only bad design of this product is the plastic mat because it is chewable. That's the way it is because plastic gives a better feeling to the chinchilla than metal(especially in winter).
Not too good to be true! October 15, 2008
Stephanie Gaiser (Palmer, AK USA)
I thought for sure this was too good to be true, but it wasn't! A high quality cage with free shipping (FEDEX) to Alaska! Unheard of! My husband thought it was a scam, but when the cage was set up in our living room a week later, he was singing a different tune. Thank you for a wonderful cage for a great price and the amazingly free shipping.
