Its good but
My ferrets love there home, i like it but, what is it cages doors they are so small and a little awkward to get in to. The tubes i took away they fall off all the time so i got them dog bed crash pads to land on when they choose to drop down the hole. Its good for hammocks, loads of beds and blankets. Cleaning especially at back of cage is hard because of doors being small. Oh and building it they slots would not connect to the bars had to use a mallet to get in but i do like it.

Not very practical and has problems.
I ordered this for my 3 ferret girls as struggled to find a good sized cage for a fair price in uk.
the cage itself is a great size brilliant infact lots of room to add extra platforms and hammocks or whatever you want.
the price brilliant unbeatable i think for what you get easy to put together from flatpacked.
Nice easy clean plastic base and the wheels for me make it great i can wheel it out and clean behind although should imagine on carpet these be pointless?
thats about where it ends im afraid.
firstly when you build this do it slowly its very easy but if you do it in the wrong order its pain taking it apart to fix the problem.
and keep in mind there seems to be spares so do not do what i did and spend ages thinking what have i missed.
Right now the big bit which if i had known before or thought through would of STOPPED me buying this cage.
once built its huge and when you want to hang anything inside thats where problems start you have just the 2 small doors on fronts only way to do it is to get in.
now im a large lady it was very tight and very uncomfy but even my much smaller son and husband struggled here there is no way once built to access from anything but the doors so placing yourself half in and trying to turn around inside that large cage no longer seems so large i did get very angry and stressed and regretted buying right away from that point.
Yes it has a big door on top but im 5'9 tall and i cannot use this door unless i stand on a steps lol
so forget that door total waste of time.
cleaning you need remove the whole top cage to clean top floor then the whole cage totally to get to bottom.
I keep ferrets so as you can imagine the base does need washing.
something you need to do daily is now a massive choir and once you have paid this money your kinda stuck with this problem.
Thats not all sadly!
The tubes that they use to reach each level.
rubbish
the top one you hang with chains supplied my girls on first day bashed this about so much it kept coming apart so i had to glue it.
I didnt feel that was good?
The bottom one well what can i say?
They need that obviously to get up and down that fell right out so not only was i lucky they wasnt hurt it didnt stay in after that so i had to do away with the tube and buy new tubing so they could get up and down.
now that might not seem a problem but keep in mind what i said about doors.
animals moved in tubes collapse you cannot get in to fix it so whole cage taken to bits animals removed tube fixed (i thought) everything put back im hot stressed and not pleased only for 5 mins later the same thing happened grrr
not ideal
so please folks keep that in mind i did read reviews i looked up many cages before deciding on this and no one mentioned any of this so it was disappointing.
The long and short of it is fantastic sized cage brilliant for maybe 3 hob ferrets or 5 jills maybe move if like mine they are only sleeping in mostly.
but access is a problem which then makes many things difficult so would i recommend it?
Hmm sadly no if i could turn back i would pay more and buy a xl ferret nation i think

Simply Massive
I've had this cage for almost 2 years now and have had up to 15 rats in it. Its an amazing cage, its absolutely massive!!
Its great for the rats as they have masses of space but it can be difficult to clean, partly due to its massive size and weight and partly due to access problems. It is also difficult to hang hammocks in the bottom half of the cage. I have also recently had problems with the wheels, two broke, so I had to take the others off and now have to lift the cage to move it! This was due to the cage being kept on carpet, so I'd advise to keep it on solid floors if you can.
Despite some issues it is a huge cage that the rats love and alot of space for the price!

very good
Bought this for my ferret who loves it and is a very happy fuzball but I find it difficult to clean and would like to suggest the manufactures put doors on 2 sides.otherwise its great, delivery was good and putting it together was no problem.

WOW! Just wow!
My furet tower arrived today. I bought it for my nine rats, males in the top, females in the bottom. The cage is HUGE. You don't realize how big it actually is until it is set up. It took almost a whole day to set up and put enrichment in. And when the rats finally went in, they loved it of course.
However, there were a couple of problems that I encountered. The first is that you can't turn it into two cages, unless you find something to shove in the hole on the upper part of the cage (in my case-a plant pot). The second problem is that its hard to tie enrichment like hammocks to the back of the cage unless you have someone to help you. The third problem was putting enrichment in the lower part of the cage- there are no bars at the top of the lower part so everything must be connected to the sides. Very difficult if you have hammocks to tie to the cage.
But overall a very good cage- good sized doors, on wheels for easy movement, a lot of space, good quality. I would definitely recommend this :)

Nice
Over all a nice cage, at the begging that rats didn't want to come down the tube to the bottom level but when they did the fun they where having.
The caster are good as you can move it aroung easily moveble. The cage is a bit on the flimsy side and rattels around went the rats play.

Well Loved Ferret/Rat Cage
This cage is amazing, it's so big the picture doesn't do it justice. I only have 2 rats that live in this cage and how lucky they are. You could fit 10 rats comfortably in a cage this size.
Size and materials are excellant but I'm only giving it a 4 as their are only 3 doors, 2 on one side and another on the top. With a cage this size it would have helped me to clean it out easier with doors on the other side as well. Because of the lack of doors it took me 3 hours to put it together and I ended up with bruises on my upper arms as I had to fit my shoulders into the cage to get to the back. I would reccommend at least 2 people needed to put this together.
