Written By: Guinea Girl
Great for traveling with guinea pigs!
Date: May 16, 2006
"I have a blue one with a soild top, unlike the one pictured. (I purchased mine in a pet store.) If you are traveling with your pet on the airlines, this is the carrier to buy! Meets airline in cabin requirements and measurments.( Warning: was told I couldn't use this for under the plane.) Even for jets! A well known airline lets me use this everytime I travel with my guinea pig. (in cabin.) Great for cars as well! I never worry when I use this carrier. He is safe from other animals because the holes are narrow, and it is hard enough so that even if someone "kicked" it, he would not be hurt. It is made of hard and durable plastic. What I love most of all about this product, is that it is big enough for him to "live" in comfortably (weeks at a time) at the hotel. The water bottel spout fits right into one of the holes, and then I just tie the bottle to something tall. He is set! Love this product! This product has lasted about 6 flights now (and still sturdy). If you don't load it down with too much bedding it is fairly light to carry through the airports. Cheap, but well made! This was a great investment!"

In cabin, in the car and on vacation!
Date: February 19, 2009
"I originally bought this product to use for vet visits and to take my lovebird on a flight from San Diego to Syracuse. The only problem all flight was a TSA person sticking his finger in there AFTER I warned him that the bird DID bite.
It's easy to clean after we're finished using it (I stick it in the shower and then air dry!)and is great for long weekend trips as containment for one or two birds. It wasn't too hard to keep clean at the hotel when we had to evacuate. It's durable and with sand perches and screw on feed cups stays clean and dry.
It is also the "Vet container" and the "hospital cage". It rides in the front seat with the seatbelt looped through the top handle... and also fits in the floor space in a Saturn. It kept my birds safe when I got rear-ended. There was food and water everywhere, but the officer was impressed that they were contained and safe.
I've had mine since 1999."

Good for Guinea Pigs - even in Cargo
Date: September 17, 2008
"I agree with previous poster - this cage is great for guinea pigs. I put both of mine in here along with a paper bag for them to hide in, put two metal birdcage feeders in for water and food, a bunch of carrots, peppers, tomatoes and other water rich veggies and was able to ship on British Airlines cargo (under the plane). This met the requirement for something like lab animals. Not sure if it meets all cargo requirements, but I was certainly able to bring them along with me on a long-term international job.
I wish it had more than one door on the top so replacing water and food was easier."

Not for Cats
Date: February 4, 2008
"This carrier is too small for a regular cat, but it's great for small pets. I flew three guinea pigs cross country, no problems. Fits under the seat (no matter what the airlines tell you), and the hard sides ease my mind when I start to worry about someone kicking the carrier or something. It can take some creative thinking to attach a water bottle, though."

really good for multiple types
Date: August 16, 2007
"I use this carrier for 2 parakeets, a rabbit, a ferret, and a guinea pig. (not at the same time). They all like it. For the furry ones, I put a bit of bedding with a tshirt or towel on the bottom, and with the feathered I put one of those sand perches in. (it hooks right through the slits in the side) It works really well for me."

"We took our 10lb car to germany with us and he flew with us in the cabin. I couldn't have thought about him in the cargo hold. easy to carry and takes up very little room."

Great Purchase
Date: July 6, 2007
"We bought this carrier to bring our puppy home from spring break in '06. It fit perfectly under the seat, and was very easy to get him loaded since the whole top opens. Best of all, MUCH cheaper than renting one from the airlines."

Buyer Beware
Date: November 15, 2006
"I have three fancy rats and two fosters. First I used it for a trip to another state in a car. It was impossible to find a way to hook up a water bottle. I used some string, bnut even then it was falling off. I managed to tie it tighter, though. Next I used it to pick up some foster rats (I'm with a rescue). Before when they were in the car I used newpaper for the bottom because we were out of litter. When I put litter in it to get the rats I didn't notice what was happening...I got the rats in (which was hard with that tiny door) and put the carrier in the car. It was only when I got home and took the carrier out I noticed there was rat poo and litter all over where the carrier was!!!! I would never buy anything like this again and I gave mine away."

kennel for work
Date: June 27, 2006
"I use this kennel for my domestic rats for transportation to and from the vet and after surgery if they need limited mobility. It works well for short time periods. Very easy to use. I always use the top door to get to my rat and to feed. I only open up the large door when I need to clean and at the vet.
I highly recommend this kennel. I know it says it's made for airplanes and I hope to try that out some day. It is very sturdy and nice."

Not perfect, but does the job.
Date: January 28, 2006
"The label says for pets up to 5-lbs, but I used this carrier for an 11-lb cat and it worked fine. The little door on the top was handy because I could open it to pet my cat and give him treats and water on the plane without worrying about him being able to dart out of the carrier. I will use this again for pet air travel. It fits the guidelines for in-cabin pet carriers for almost all airlines. I put a little sherpa pad down and my cat uses the carrier as a bed - he sleeps in it all the time. "

Missing Information
Date: December 12, 2005
"I purchased this item online and my problem with the carrier's advertisement is that in no place does it say that there's a 5 pound weight limit. I found this out after reading the tag that's attached to it. Needless to say, I returned it. Also, the whole wire top doesn't open. There's only a small opening for a bird or small critter to fit though (not a cat or puppy- maybe a kitten). Where the two dark sliders are on the side is where it opens. The whole top half lifts open. "
