Satisfied Chinchilla Owner
Date: April 5, 2006
"I have had this cage for a year now, and my chinchilla never destroyed anything in it. I did buy some wooden ledges, and I had no use for the ladders since ramps aren't necessary for chinchillas (they can jump to the highest point in the cage w/o them). I would just suggest making sure you have plenty of chew toys for them, especially apple wood branches."

Good Starter Set
Date: June 16, 2009
"I've had this cage for about 2 weeks and so far so good.
Pretty easy to set up, although the leaping ledge scared me at first. I tried to put is on the sides of the cage like the pictures but the only sturdy place i found for it was towards the front of the cage.
My Chinchilla Munchie didn't like the treats it came with.
You definitely need some more things for your chinchilla to chew on before it starts to chew on the cage.
Great overall!"

May Have Problems
Date: December 21, 2008
"This cage was good for my chinchilla's at first but after a while the leaping ledge snaped and broke the wire and both of my chinchilla's escaped. The other problem we had was that they destroyed the water bottle, now we have glass bottles and ate away at the bowl. They also chewed up the plastic ledges and i've had the cage for about a year now it's still holding up but all the "fun" in the cage is now destroyed. The only part left is the plastic bottom and the wires"

Overall good starter kit
Date: August 10, 2008
"This kit comes with a great assortment of items to help you get started with your pet. There seems to be 2 varieties of supplies that come with it though, so don't be surprised if you receive carefresh bedding instead of softsorbent or vice versa.
The cage itself is working well so far for my chinchilla that I've had for just about a week. She hasn't chewed through any bars or on the base, but she has nibbled a little bit on the ramps. While the base is fairly high, a jumping chinchilla will still manage to knock out some bedding.
It really is simple to set up and is quite spacious. There is easily enough room to add a hide box and even a wheel. Since the set-up is easy, it follows that the takedown and cleanup is relatively easy as well. Everything can just pop apart and be taken elsewhere to wash/wipe down.
My only downside so far with this kit is that my chinchilla enjoy the supplied treats, but that will obviously vary depending on your pet. Definitely recommended starter kit for new owners that can become a nice home with a few minor additions or modifications."

great for adult rats!
Date: May 14, 2008
"This cage is great for adult or large sized rats! The bar spacing is 1inch so it's too wide for smaller, slender rats because they could escape.
Everything in this kit works perfectly, except you'll need to buy mouse/rat food to replace the chin food.
It has a large sized base and several levels which are fantastic for frisky rats.
They love to leap-n-ledge too! They climb on it and chew it, so it serves two jobs!
Since the base is plastic there is the chance of them chewing it, but I use super pet cages for all my small animals and none of them have ever chewed through their cage. To be safe I add a lot of chew toys.
Overall this is a really awesome cage and it's great for chins, rats and maybe even ferrets!"

Wonderful cage
Date: January 28, 2008
"The cage is wonderful. It is spacious, easy access.
There's only two issues. Because of the front two doors, it's very hard to place hammocks if your pet likes them. And the shelves hold urine and food particles in the indented portion."

Its awesome
Date: November 14, 2007
"I have had my chinchilla for 2 weeks now. I give her pleanty of toys and chews and so far she hasnt tempted to chew on her cage. At night she loves to jump from shelf to shelf and run up and down the ramps or up on to the leaping ledge. She is really into everything in the cage. One thing the food that came with it was not what the description said. THe one htat came with it has lots of treats and added extras to it. Other wise we love it!"

This Cage is Great!
Date: September 15, 2007
"Me and my Brand new chinchilla love this cage! It was really easy to assemble and has a really great size. Although i wish it was a little bit bigger so i can put more stuff on the bottom. But its no big deal.
The Platforms are excellent and so are the ramps, my chinchilla loves to use them or just jump from floor to floor.
The leapnLedge is great but make sure you tighten it up really good because you dont want it to come off when your chinchilla jumps on it!
Im not pretty sure about the food because I dont really see what he is eating but to me he likes it a lot!
And the carefresh bedding is excellent and i dont smell a thing when i walk by his cage! but i had to use the whole packet for the bottom and I STILL had to go to the petstore and buy more so I can actually fill the whole thing up.
And everything else is so great and i would definently recomend this to a friend!"

Great Chinchilla Cage
Date: July 15, 2007
"This cage is an excellent home for my chinchilla. I provided her with lots of chew toys from the get go, and after 3 months, the only signs of chewing on the cage are a few small nibbles around the upper edge of the food dish.
She really likes to use the ladders as well as jump from level to level. This cage is nicely customizeable - the height of the cage allows for plenty of room to add more platforms, ledges, and toys. I have the large 8 in 1 Snak Shak and a ceramic dust bath in the base of the cage and there's still plenty of room for her to run around. She really loves the leap'n'ledge - I've had no problems with it falling - I just ignored the grooves in the wood and made sure the washers were centered on either side of the cage wires and tightened it up. I plan to add more sleeping and leaping ledges for her to hop around on.
The bottom of the cage is deep, but my chinchilla does manage to kick some hay and shavings out from time to time. If this is a problem for you, I've found just putting a towel or a bit of plastic sheeting that extends a few inches from under the cage makes for pretty easy clean-up - just bundle up the sheet and dump the mess into the trash. As far as ease of cleaning the cage, it is a little involved. I usually hand the chinchilla off to someone else or put her in a travel carrier while I do it. You have to remove the wire portion from the base to clean it, although if you have a shop-vac, that would probably be easier. I also snap the platforms out and clean them, as they have a groove ( a nice addition) for trapping debris so it's less likely to fall out of the cage.
All that aside, if you know your pet is a serious chewer, regardless of the number of toys you provide, you may want to go with a metal bottomed cage. My chinchilla enjoys chewing, but doesn't seem to be big into plastic, unless nothing else is available. However, I know other chins that will happily chew down their entire plastic food dish, and start on the cage with relish, toys or no, so keep the temperament of your chin in mind when shopping for a cage."

"I bought this cage at a local petco and I was very impressed. The setup was very easy and everything snapped right into place. My chin (Blitz) also seems very pleased now that he is able to run all over the cage. I would recommend this product to a friend."

Excellent Cage
Date: June 22, 2007
"this cage is great!!! my chinchilla loved it! he would hop around all the time from ladder to ladder! he also loved sitting on the wood ledge that comes with the cage. there were only things that were not so good were minor things that were not a big deal. if you didnt clean the cage often it will smell. it was little bit difficult to clean, the dust from their bath would get everywhere, and my chinchilla liked to eat his water bottle between the bars. but overall, i would say the cage is cute, and my chinchilla was very happy in it. he had plenty of room for toys, dust bath, litterbox, and a hiding box. and room to run around!"

eh. its ok.
Date: June 17, 2007
"-my mom surpirsed me wiht my chinchilla so we had to rush out to buy a cage. with all the extras in it we thought it would be a good buy. well, it had its ups and downs.-
Good:
*it has nice looks
*it comes with essential extras
*its a good size
*good price
Bad:
*easy to chew through- my chinchilla chewed on a side of one of the shelves. one day i found it collapsed ontop of him. thank goodness he wasnt hurt, actually he was underneath it chewing still...
*the water bottle is hard to keep in one spot, it slips around.
-overall its an ok cage but not thrilling. take your time to search for one taht suites you best. really the only downer to this one is that its very chewable. provide toys and im sure it could be an amazing home.-"
