Great Size Some Problems
Delivery was very quick, the cage was easy to assemble, but for some odd reason there was a lot of what looked like black plastic dust covering the bottom of the cage, which was a pain to clean up as it also covered the other items that were inside. The bar spacing is very good. The cage would better with another shelf to put on the other side of the cage as my rats were finding it hard to go up the ramp, as well as a second top opening, but overall a good sized cage and my girls are happy.

Great cage :)
Bought this cage as my first ever rat cage, it was great quality and overall a very good cage for the price. However the cage did arrive a little dusty so you may want to take that into account if you plan on housing rats in it straight away, I personally wanted to clean it before letting any pets in.

Great size
It's a very great size for your rats.Its at a excellent price and it's good that it comes with a water bottle and a great size bowl.My 2 female rats really like it and I would defenetly recommend it.

Tedious assembly, rickety frame
Assembly was tedious on my own; everything kept falling apart, and I constantly had to start over from scratch. The cage also had a design flaw, and now the door can only be opened from the inside—there was no other way to make it work. The cage is intended as a nesting space for my pregnant rat, but I find it very flimsy and unstable. Definitely made in China and absolutely not worth the 89.90 CHF. Sorry I couldn’t give a better review.

Great cage for when the ratties were little.
Certainly too small in the long run, but the cage has served its purpose wonderfully, and the ratties loved it. Even when they were still very tiny, the bar spacing was perfect. Very sturdy and well-designed. Absolutely brilliant. I also think it’s bigger than it looks in the picture.

Unfortunately, broke quickly
I bought the cage as an integration cage for rats because it can be stored in a space-saving way, with all parts fitting into the base tray. Assembling it on my own was tedious; the plug-in system fits poorly, and unfortunately, it was almost impossible to take it apart again. After the second disassembly, the first plug connection broke. Conclusion: too small as a permanent cage, and due to the poor quality, not suitable as an integration cage that needs to be repeatedly assembled and disassembled.

Are thrilled
The cage is really great. Super sturdy and well-made. Easy to assemble. The water bottle, hammock, and bowl are also fantastic. I can only recommend it.

Super cage
If you add a bit of interior design and imagination, it's a fantastic cage for anyone who doesn't necessarily have much space but still wants to give their pets a lovely home. It's sturdy and looks great. Another little door wouldn't hurt, but it's not a must. My boys and I are completely satisfied. I hadn't found anything comparable and affordable in any pet shop.

Great first cage
After lots of research I finally decided to settle on this cage for my first pair of rat girlies. The cage is a decent size but I would not house more than two in here. In fact I am upgrading to a bigger cage after months of using this one. However, I will be keeping this cage as a holiday home because it is just a great cage! The easy closing mechanism on the door has saved me countless times in one handed rat battles. The base is also super easy to clean. I really like the colour scheme also. The grey bars are easy on the eyes. Some plastic parts did break on assembly which means my cage is no longer collapsible so be careful. Though All in all a great value first cage!

Nice and spacious!
I keep two female rats in this cage. It seems much bigger in person than the dimensions suggest. The plastic base is easy to clean out and there's lots of floor space for tunnels etc. There's also plenty of space to hang toys on the bars. The door is in the middle at the side and has a good rat-safe fastener but it would be better if there was a way to hold it open.

Perfect as a stopgap!
I ordered the cage for my two seven-week-old girls after quickly realising that I couldn't yet put them in my large aviary due to their size. Since two more little ones will be joining in the next few days, they can get to know each other there first. The bar spacing is really great for young animals – where else do you find cages of this size with such features? Once they're a few weeks older, they can move into a 150 x 85 x 85 cm (HxWxD) space, and then I'll still have this cage as a recovery cage or for similar purposes. It should be clear to everyone that this cage isn't intended for permanent housing due to its size. In terms of price and performance, it's definitely affordable as a temporary solution.

Great transitional cage
As a permanent home, my male rats have a Villa Casa 120 with a total of 4 m² of running space including levels (the largest aviary available on the market if you don’t want to build one yourself).
Still, I was missing a cage where I could house new arrivals until they are integrated into the group, or for when I have foster animals that need to be rehomed.
Since I don’t have the space to set up a second large aviary, I was looking for a cage like this one – one that can be completely dismantled and then stored compactly in the basement.
I think this cage is perfect for exactly that purpose! Anyone who isn’t completely hopeless with DIY can assemble it easily – even on their own. Once set up, the cage is fairly stable – not quite as sturdy as a model delivered “in one piece,” but definitely sufficient. It’s quite lightweight, so you can easily place it entirely in the bathtub for cleaning.
The design options are somewhat limited due to the tight space, but with a bit of creativity, you can still set up this cage reasonably nicely so that 2-3 rats can manage with it for a transitional period.
I think it’s a shame that this cage gets so many bad reviews. Of course, it’s not suitable for PERMANENT housing. But as a temporary solution, there’s hardly anything better. The cage itself isn’t bad – you just need to consider its intended purpose!

Great looking cage
This is a nice looking, spacious cage. Easy to assemble, door is nice and secure, and the base is sturdy and deep enough to keep substrate from being tossed out by digging ratties. I keep three boys in this cage - and I think that's the limit for this size of cage. I purchased an extra shelf and removed the ramp to encourage climbing. There's lots of additional space for extra hanging toys and hammocks. The only thing that's pesky is the access door. I end up contorting myself into unusual positions to reach things in the cage. A door on the top would have made this cage perfect. However, for the price, I feel this is an excellent starter cage for a new owner.

A nice sized cage for rats with plenty of room for toys
This cage is a really nice size for a pair or trio of rats, i wouldn't put any more than three in there. I love the black and pink colour, it looks stylish and adds a girly touch. The bar spacing is good, not too wide, so you wouldn't have to worry about putting young rats in. The cage could do with coming with another shelf to put on the other side, but its also nice to have the space to add your own hanging toys/beds etc. The base is nice and deep, which means less mess. The ramp up to the shelf only has very shallow groves in it, which isn't the best for gripping, I have put a branch up to the shelf on the other side to, as my rats tend to go up the ramp fine but dislike going down it. I feel another door would have been useful on this cage, a top opening one perhaps, as sometimes it's hard to reach around things.

Great size cage access door to small!!
The cage arrived well packaged it was also easy and quick to assemble. Spacious to put ropes, ladders, hammocks, wheel and tunnels etc my rats really enjoy their time in it! The only downfall is there is one small door at the front which makes it really difficult to change things around unless you take the whole cage off the base! All in all though it is a fantastic cage :)

So much for being suitable for rats.
For two rats, it's definitely already too small, and they can't even properly get out of each other's way. And there's no chance of playing around when the little house is inside. Besides, there should always be two houses in there. I've now bought the Savic Double 95, and my girls are happy—they can play around and get out of each other's way... and now the third one is happy too.

Great
I bought two of these cages at the beginning of the year and am very happy with them. They could be a bit bigger, but if you have limited space, they’ll do just fine. My girls love climbing the vertical walls of the cages and sleep on the top level. However, I must admit that I’ve modified the interior setup of both cages. (I added extra levels and another ramp.) When I unpacked the plastic levels, I thought my girls would chew through them in no time – but they haven’t even nibbled on them (maybe because I’ve placed towels as flooring everywhere). The door is large enough to reach properly into the cage; the only thing I would have liked is a "roof entrance." Assembling the cages is really straightforward, and if you carefully follow the instructions, you can’t really go wrong. Definitely a strong contender.
