Pretty good design, reasonable price
Date: October 21, 2009
"Easy to use, attractive design, and reasonable price made this cage our choice. Deep pan keeps bedding in place, large top door and medium size front door make access easy. Some of the plastic parts could be beefier, but nothing has broken so I guess they are adequate. Much better price on-line (on "sale") than I found at stores..."

Good cage.
Date: August 10, 2009
"I have one for my hedgehog and it's a good size if you don't want a huge cage in your house, but you need a decent amount of room. I can fit a large igloo, and a large wheel with plenty of room for extra things for my hedgehog to play with."

My fat piggy loves this cage!
Date: July 16, 2009
"My fat Hairry is a foster "kid" who I decided to keep. The cage I adopted him in was pretty old and hard to clean and I was afraid it was no longer safe for him.
I bought this cage based on its measurements and have been very happy, he has room to run around and play with his toys and it is easy for me to clean.
I am very happy with this cage, but can see where some folks think its small and any animal that is a chewer will have a field day with this as the clips are easily accessed. I just make sure there are ample toys and treats to chew on to distract them from chewing on the cage."

Nice Q-cage
Date: June 30, 2009
"We bought this with the oldest of my guinea pigs, and later realized it was much too small. We then made them a bigger cage, but this is the cage that I clean up and take upstairs when it gets too cold for them to be in the basement (it's usually very nice down there). Though it's too small to be a full time cage, and the corner pieces have a habit of falling off (Zip-ties work wonders for this.), it's all in all a nice cage for quarantining and introduction, or for housing young piglets without an adult before they're sold/given off to a new home/waiting for a larger home. The large doors are very nice, and we still use the hay rack in their current cage.
I find it funny how in the picture the rack is in backwards."

PERFECT FOR HEDGIES!!
Date: May 4, 2009
"I will be getting a hedgehog in a few weeks so I purchased this cage from this website and it is the perfect size for a hedgehog or smallish guinea pig. It is very roomy and seems to be easy to clean. The extra large door on the top is very useful for putting large things into the cage or for dumping bedding through. To clean, all you have to do is unlatch the wire part and lift it up and remove the bottom part and dump the bedding out and wash with soap if needed. Overall, best cage its size!"

Strong long lasting cage
Date: January 3, 2009
"I got this for my male guinea pig four years ago and it now houses my female guinea pig and her daughter. It's a strong cage and easy to clean, all I have you have to do is take the top off and it has snap ons that hold the bars to the base and those are incredibly strong so you don't have to worry about picking the cage up by the bars. The only downside is the corner place holders come off a lot but you can just order those pieces for free, its great! The perfect cage for guinea pigs or rabbits, can easily fit two guinea pigs."

Ugh TERRIBLE Cage!!!
Date: September 25, 2008
"This was my first cage for my Dutch and Lionhead rabbits. I realized it was WAY to small for two so I got like a My First Cage cage. This cage FELL apart after like, 5 months and is terrible! The doors are hard to open, and the only way to clean the bottom is to spray it down with a hose!!!! I paid like 80 bucks for this thing and like 40 for the other and the other has never fallen apart on me! I now have to hold the cage up with wire while I buy a new one!!!! Please don't buy! BEWARE!!"

wonderful cage :)
Date: August 26, 2008
"I purchased this cage for my young holland lop bunny and he loves it! It is roomy enough for his food dish, litter box, and toys, as well as having extra room for him to hop around. It is easy to clean also. However, the yellow "hay bin" that comes with takes up a lot of room if hung correctly, but I found that hanging it on the outside of the cage makes more room on the inside, and still allows Jack to have hay as he pleases! Also, the door latches are kind of weird, but I found a way to make them work for me. Therefore, with a little bit of improvisation, this cage turned out to be 100% satisfactory!!"

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!
Date: August 18, 2008
"These cages are made by Marchioro in Italy. The cage itself is quite impressive although the shelves are a nightmare to clean, the clips on the ladders are very weak and bend very easily. If you are unfortunate to have a rat the dares to chew, watch the plastic clips that hold the whole cage together disintegrate within a few weeks. YOU CANNOT BUY ANY SPARES FOR THESE CAGES!!!! You could be in a situation where your cage is almost useless within a couple of months unless you patch it up with bits ob wire. BE ADVISED!!!!"

Much too small

"This cage is much too small for one guinea pig, let alone two! Each guinea pig should have 7.5 square feet and this is much too tiny!"

great for piggies
Date: July 9, 2008
"I purchased this cage for my 2 baby guinea pigs. They love it and so do I. It is very roomy and easy to clean. My piggies have a large wooden house, a chube and lots of toys in their new home. They have a lot of room to run around and play. Highly recommend this product!"

Best cage ever!
Date: July 4, 2008
"Two days ago, I got a guinea pig. I had a hard time choosing a cage but I happened to choose the perfect one! This cage is amazing! It's so roomy for my little piggy! You can fit so many things in here and still have room. Easy to clean. The door closes tight and secure. Plus, it has a door at the top, to put everything in. The only problem for me was that yellow thing it comes with. I took it out, which made more room. This is seriously an amazing cage! If you're considering 1-2 guinea pigs, this is the cage for you!"

good for 1 small ferret
Date: April 24, 2008
"I bought this for my daughter along with a small "runt" ferret. this worked out ok for about a year and than i noticed there wasnt much room for growth or a home to snuggle in unless it hung from the top of the cage and than she had difficulty getting in it till she grew a bit. just recently upgraded to a larger one. This would be good for 1 small animal with not too many toys."
