Bigger Cage ~ more toys!!
Date: October 7, 2009
"We love this new cage for our hamster, as it was hard to fit all her toys, her wheel, her hide-outs, and her chewing treats in her 1st cage. We are going to make this playpen her permanent home--If you need something underneath it to protect your floor--a large plastic, shallow tote will work for that. And if you want a top, which you would if it is to be their home--just go to the hardware store and buy a piece of similar wire--take the measurements with you and there you have it. A new, larger home for you beloved pet."

small pet playpen
Date: September 26, 2009
"I bought this pen for 2 guinea pigs. It is perfect for letting them out to stretch their legs. I also bought the 3 piece add on to give them some extra room and they love it. the pen itself is easy to put up and take down
it folds flat and quick. the only reason it did not get 5 paws is I thought it was slightly overpriced

Great Playpen
Date: September 9, 2009
"This is a perfect portable playpen that allows your small pets some play time out side of their cage. You can very easily interlock two playpens together for a larger play area. No assembly required and folds up easily for storage."

love it
Date: September 5, 2009
"bought it for our guinea pigs and they love to go in it. it is an excellent place to put them when their cage is being cleaned, also. i would recommend buying this at the same time as you purchase the pets so that they can explore more than just their little cage. You can also add another later to make an even bigger playpen."

Helpful!
Date: September 3, 2009
"I bought this for my male piggy who needed some extra space, plus with summer I wanted to get him outside. This was really nice for price and is a nice, basic pen. Its tall, taller than the "hamster" sized one which he could easilly knock over and the panels are attached making for easy-use. One suggestion is to use the pen upside down. This is MUCH easier to get the lock in the latch since they weren't lined up properly when made. Its the same upside down except for the logo. My piggy loves to run around the perimeter of the pen when in the grass. Unlike the pic, its a very dark blue and a seafoam green. My piggy's cage is purple and I was hoping to match, but oh well. This works great when in a circle shape. I tried moving it into a rectangle, but it seemed too small so the circle shape gives you the most floor room. Great for one piggy, but any more is pushing it. For two I would buy two. Folds up really easy. I could totally see someone using this for other small pets too. Overall great."

must have
Date: September 3, 2009
"This was a great purchase for our ginea pig. He is able to enjoy the outside with the family while relaxing in the shade and munching on some grass. A great way to give your pet some fresh air! The one level playpen was fine for our ginea pig. Great price for what you get- and it was fully assembled."

Great for smaller animals, not worth the cost.
Date: May 13, 2009
"I took this back within a week of buying it. My rabbits nearly got out, it's made cheaply and its not worth $50. This is great for a smaller animal like a hamster or a guinea pig, but not for rabbits or anything large. After I took this back I found a small dog enclosure that looks similar to that for $35. It's sturdier and it even has it's own doorway."

Date: October 25, 2008
"Again I say,this is the cuttest not so little play pen! I have a hamster that loves it soooooo much, he brings all of his food there so he doesn't have to go back and forth to where he eats, to where he exercises!"

Quality for little price
Date: September 3, 2008
"The small playpen is made well and has enough weight to make it stay in place, even when my gps lean against it. It opens to a large size and closes flat for easy storage. It has no sharp edges that might hurt your critters. And for this price, you can not find a better made playpen. I bought three and are very happy with them."

Great item...once you get it together.
Date: June 26, 2008
"Small lightweight, cute, and sturdy enough for a four pound rabbit. But...it was a bear to put together. I needed a large flat screwdriver to open the little loops and then a hammer to close them up again. I almost sent it back. Now that it's all together the way it should be, I'm glad I didn't."

Shipped So Fast, Great Product!
Date: June 12, 2008
"I ordered this on June 9, and got it June 11! It's so simple to put together and quite sturdy that I'm sure my bunny won't get out, knock it over, or gnaw right through it. I recommend the extra 3 add-on if you want to sit inside with them, but for solo exercise, it's great!"

Amazing Product
Date: May 18, 2008
"I actually bought two of these playpens and linked them together for my two gerbils. I cant see keeping them in their tank all day long so i give them a half hour of exercise each day in the playpen. they love it. It is also great for when i clean out their cage, because unlike the run about balls, that they would just go to the bathroom in them and eventually not run anywhere, they enjoy the openness. As for them jumping out, they try to climb it, but never get anywhere...i have had them since they were 3 mo. old, now full grown, they still cant jump out. GREAT PRODUCT!"

Bad for Hamsters
Date: May 7, 2008
"I don't know about other pets, but this product is a waste of money for hamsters. Within five minutes mine figured out how to climb out and the fifteen inch height was no deterent. He could have climbed out no matter what the height."

Good Pen - NOT an option for a very small dog
Date: April 20, 2008
"I thought this pen might be a good option for my 2lb yorkie puppy -- too small, should have gone for the bigger pen! Would have worked fine for one of the pets it lists in the product description (hamster, bunny etc...)"
