Love it!
Date: March 27, 2008
"This the perfect place for letting your guinea pig run around outside! The small one is big enough for my guinea pig, Tommy, and my friend's dwarf rabbit, Zoe, to play with each other! They are now great friends and all four of us have fun together."

Best Helper Ever
Date: March 27, 2008
"This is so easy to put together and allows my kids to play with their pets and keeps the dogs at bay longer. This is so wonderful and I don't know why it took so long to order one. I am now planning on ordering the larger one."

Perfect playpen!!!!
Date: March 19, 2008
"This playpen is absolutely amazing! It gives my girls (2) a safe large area to play in! I have had this for a couple weeks now and they have never even come close to escaping! The bars are perfectly positioned so even a really tall ferret could not climb it! I also would recommend purhasing the expansion kit with three extra pannels if you want to sit in the playpen and still give your ferrets ample room to wrestle!"

"this is a nice product! I recommend it for small animals. It is not terribly large and we have a dwarf rabbit so I plan to purchase additional panels to broaden his play space."

"I read one or two prior reviews that indicated some pet bunnies jumped over the pen. This worried me as I have a full grown rabbit that is very adept at jumping. I've had the pen for a while now however & have experienced no instance where she has jumped over. Due to this, and ease of the pen's movement, I highly recommend it."

Midwest Small Pet Playpen
Date: February 29, 2008
"I really like this playpen. None of my pets can climb up the walls. It's easy to put together and flatten to store under my bed. I would definitely recommend this cage."

Love it!
Date: February 27, 2008
"When I first looked at this item online it looked a lot smaller than it really is, so I also purchased the 3 panel extensions. To my surprise its a lot bigger than it looks and is perfect for my rabbits to run around in. The extra panels are great for more exercise, especially for my 9 rabbits! I would highly recommend this product, the price seems kind of high, but your rabbit will apprciate it!"

Going to the Park
Date: February 18, 2008
"This is the best thing for my babies. It gives them a change from their cage and I can leave them unattended and they have spent weeks at a time in what we consider hanging out in the Park.
Sir Sobie and Little J enjoy the atmosphere, they enjoy running free. They still have a potty, their wheel and they are more than happy with just an empty cereal box to make as their home and for privacy.
I can lay on the floor and watch them play, talk to them and take pictures. It gives them a break from their Pink Palace!!!
They love it, its fresh air and they are not breathing in the odors of their urine, so they do not suffer from any respiratory problems that may occur.
Its an excellent break and keeps them entertained and then when they return to the their home, the Pink Palace, they just go nuts running around, they are soo excited.
For the health and happiness of your little loved ones I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this!!!! It truly peaks their interest while they are hanging out in the park {playpen}.
NOTE: I've learned to help with the mess, lay a pc of "CLEAN" cardboard down to help with the mess if you plan on keeping your little ones in over a night or a week or two."

"This cage was so great for my guinea pigs. They love to graze on the grass with eachother. I loved this so much that I went back and bought another one, so that more guinea pigs could play in them!"

Good for Piggies
Date: January 30, 2008
"I got this for my guinea pig. It gives him enough room to run around and play, and folds up nice and flat for storage. The only downside is that there is no bottom- In order to use in indoors without ruining my carpet, I have to put towels down. Other than that, great product."

A great item to have
Date: January 21, 2008
"This playpen is a great item to have when you have small animals. It allows them to get out of there cage and play in a bigger area. It also allows them to get used to your other animals like a cat or dog."

Watch out! They can escape!
Date: November 11, 2007
"This is a really neat idea, but be aware! Our little hamster is a climber and we thought she would be safe in this. Left the room for ten minutes, came back, she was gone. Now, we use it, but only to watch her climb in and out of it. She can climb to the top and over the side within 15 seconds! Is quite entertaining!"

Fun item for guinea pig
Date: November 8, 2007
"We bought this so our scared skittish guinea pig could get some exercise. He still would rather hide than run about, but with a small shelter he seems to like being outside in this play pen on a nice day (and eat grass)."

My Piggy LOVES This!!!!!!
Date: September 26, 2007
"HIGHLY recommended!! So easy to set up - NO tools required :) My guinea pig, Mamba, absolutely loves the small playpen. I love to have her in out for my whole family to enjoy and she is able to play with her toys and get some extra exercise. Great product for piggies! A++"

great playpen
Date: June 3, 2007
"The 6 panel purple and green playpen is excellent for gerbils. At 15" high, it will not keep all gerbils from trying to jump out, so pets always need to be supervised during playtime, but it is tall enough to discourage the attempt. The pen makes a large circular area, but can also be set up as a rectangle to save space. Easy to set up and take down and stores flat in a small space."

Not So Great For Ratties
Date: February 18, 2007
"I love the way this playpen looks, but i absolutely hate the fact that my three rats can climb right up the sides! This aspect of the cage makes it almost impossible to put your pet inside while cleaning their cage, feeding them, rearranging their cage etc. Except that it could be taller, or have a top, I love this cage and I would reccomend it to somebody with a little more time on their hands than me. My rats love this cage and have loads of fun while playing so I suppose it all pays off!"

too expensive for what you're getting.
Date: December 7, 2006
"i got mine somewhere else for much cheaper.. shop around if you want it before purchasing anything.. i got mine somewhere else for almost half the price.
i wouldn't recommend this for gerbils .. both of mine are able jump right over it! i don't recommend it for hyperactive hamsters either, they also find their way out.. perfect for guinea pigs and chinchillas."
