Rat Transport Box
The transport box was larger than expected, but that wasn’t a problem—quite the opposite!! I was able to easily fit a Sputnik inside, and my three lady rats felt very comfortable in it!! I can definitely recommend the box! One star deducted for the transport strap, though—I don’t really trust it, so I didn’t attach it at all. Nevertheless, I was able to transport my three little ones very well and without any issues :)

Experiences with transporting a cat
Pro: The opening is very large, making it easy to place the cat inside and lift it out comfortably.
Contra: It doesn't have a strap fixture. Additionally, it could be a bit bigger for an average-sized cat, though it works for short periods. The third downside is the strap—it can only be used if you're also holding the handle, otherwise the box "tilts."
Conclusion: Overall, we still find it more practical than the others due to the large opening.

Great, large box
The assembly was quite straightforward. However, I had to use quite a bit of force to get the handle into the holes in the lid. The box seems sturdy, and my large Maine Coon mix has plenty of space inside.

Colour rats
I've been using the box for my fancy rats for 2 years now. I can comfortably fit all five in for a short time, and with just two, a Sputnik fits in as well. I'm deducting one star because someone at the vet was too rough with the clasp, so now I have to be careful it doesn't break, and because the ventilation slots are all around (which means without a carrying bag, there's a constant draught).

Lovely transport box
The transport box is really practical in itself, but the design of the folding joint is very prone to breaking!!

Top for my rat boys
The box is solid and well-made overall. The minimal assembly was a bit tricky but doable, even without manly muscle power. The top carrying handle is the hardest to push into the holder, but with a bit of delicate brute force, it works. XD
The shoulder strap is more of a "joke". It only works when the box is closed, so the strap is more like an expensive extra piece of fabric.
If you're looking for a good and sturdy box without spending a fortune, this box will serve you well.

Great for my Rats
I bought this for my three male rats, it is perfect size for them. I easily modified it by drilling a few holes to attach a water bottle and hammock. The strap could be better, it is very thin and could use some padding or be made more easily adjustable. Great though and good value

Very practical, but I don't trust the handle on the top.
The box is very good and practical; we use it for our two rabbits. You can quickly put them inside and take them out without any stress, as the lid opens from the top.
Thanks to the blue lid, the two feel protected, but they still get enough air.
The box itself is quite sturdy; however, I don’t have much confidence in the handle on the top. It does hold, but it’s only attached thinly, so I always carry the box without using the handle, and that works perfectly!
For the price, I can only recommend the box – we’re happy with it!

The box is good for cats and rodents!
Suitable for cats and small rodents.
The only thing that bothers me is that when I transport my rats in it, they have bedding inside, and it quickly falls out at the edges. Otherwise, it's great.

2 years later
I bought the box back then because I was raising five kittens who occasionally needed to go to the vet. Since accessing it from the top was easier, I decided on this box. The basket was always good too, until it fell off the cupboard after two years. I picked it up and put it back. Later, while vacuuming, I discovered small plastic pieces on the floor. I didn’t immediately make the connection until I noticed that the basket on the cupboard looked a bit odd. Unfortunately, the basket was damaged at the bottom and sides. It didn’t survive the fall, even though the cupboard isn’t particularly high. Either the material was already worn out, or the fall was extremely unlucky.
Otherwise, I’d recommend it for its price/performance ratio :) The kittens felt comfortable in it back then (of course, I had placed a blanket in the carrier).

Super
The box is really great, very sturdy. Unlike a soft bag, it's easy to carry. And it's not so big that it would be too bulky for one hand. My little Siamese mix fits in perfectly. At first, I thought the shoulder strap might not hold well, but so far everything is spot on.
Absolutely recommendable for the price.

Nice height
I've used the box three times so far and I'm very satisfied. It's sturdy and closes securely. The height is perfect for my bunnies, as they can occasionally peek out curiously from the top.

Just a bit small...
The box doesn’t make a bad impression for the price, but it’s simply too small for our 4.5kg tomcat (so not particularly large), who (unfortunately) also occasionally has to be transported with a collar due to injuries. Such a shame.

perfectly adequate
I already have the same transport box at home, but I had to get another one now because I’m moving, and it’s too small for two cats. I’m happy with the boxes, and they’re perfectly adequate for a small budget. They’re also sturdy—I’ve had good experiences with them so far.
I can only recommend them.

Big enough for a medium-sized cat.
I received the transport box a few days ago and I'm a bit worried about whether the closures will hold. I fixed the carrying strap with paper clips and wrapped it multiple times with tape to avoid injuries. It doesn’t look very stylish, but now I don’t have to fear the box falling with the cat while on the go. I bought the transporter because of the carrying strap, as I don’t have a car and can’t carry regular transporters. I immediately get severe back pain. I have a fabric tote bag, but the small opening is enough for my little rascal to try and escape. I’ve now placed soft padding in the box, and my little tomcat immediately claimed it as his own. I hope the lid closures hold and that my curious little guy doesn’t end up scraping his nose out of sheer curiosity. My cat (7 months old) is very delicate but has long legs, and he has plenty of space with room to grow. I previously had a cat weighing 7 kg, and I’m convinced he would have fit in it as well. I don’t understand why some buyers find the box too small. Cats like to curl up and often squeeze themselves into small containers, and a box is only meant for transport, which usually doesn’t last for hours. The point deduction is for the insecure fastening of the strap and my concern that the closure isn’t very durable. However, at this price, you probably have to accept some compromises. It would certainly make sense to offer this system in a higher-quality version as well.

Value for money TOP
Once again, I’m amazed and delighted by the super-fast delivery! Ordered on Saturday afternoon, and the package arrived by Monday lunchtime...
The transport box completely meets my expectations. I need this box for my dwarf lop rabbit, and it’s definitely sufficient for him.
However, I wouldn’t want to be a cat or, even worse, a small dog placed in this box... For those animals, I definitely find it too small!
But for my rabbit, it’s absolutely fine for a trip to the vet and back, and above all, the price is fantastic for it.

Quite good for ratties
Hello,
I think the transport box is really good. We actually bought it for our rats, but that doesn’t matter. For these animals, it’s definitely quite good and offers enough space if several need to come along at once.

Great for smaller cats - very practical
I've had this box for 8 months now and I'm satisfied with it. My tomcat, however, isn't the biggest or heaviest. What I like best is that it's easy to get the cat inside and the strap makes it very portable.
Since my tomcat also sleeps in it at night, I always take the lid off after a visit to the vet. This puts some strain on the plastic hinges of the lid, and one has already broken. But it still holds up very well. Anyone who keeps the lid on will enjoy it for a long time.

Transport box
We bought this box for our two rabbits and are very satisfied, even though we think it will eventually become too small for both of them. But then we would happily buy another one anytime. For me, the biggest advantage is that opening and closing it only takes one simple move, yet it’s very quiet and doesn’t scare the animals. Although I attached the included strap, I don’t use it and will remove it again. I don’t see the point of it, as carrying the box on the shoulder makes it sway even more.
