GREAT FOR ADULT RATS
I saw some mixed reviews for this cage, but is good with returns so I figured Id take a chance and I am soo happy with this cage, more importantly so are my little bubs! We need to get some more toys in here
First I wanted to talk about the things that scared me in other reviews
Ramps falling: So far my ramps look very sturdy and are in place well. I think people may have had issues with the ramps coming dislodges and falling because they do take some finagling to get them into place correctly. Will update if that changes, but Im confident for the time being!
Pets hurt falling: This cage is definitely for animals that climb, I saw that peoples pets may have gotten hurt falling, so thats something to be mindful of. I would not buy this for animals that arent agile or at least durable lol, luckily my rats are both.
Broken legs/feet: Another issue that almost scared me off, was that peoples pets had broken their legs and hurt their feet on the grate at the bottom. Ive removed the grate from mine (its removable by design) and plan on using it only when removing the bin to change their bedding. An added bonus for rat owners is that the basin becomes SUPER deep so you can add lots of stuff for burrowing animals like rats.
Babies: The bars on this cage are about an inch apart, so you really dont want to buy this if you plan on adding young/baby rats into your pack. My average size female rats are the perfect size.
Chewers: If your pets chew this may not be the cage for you. Mine chew out of plastic cages after some months of working at it lily, and metal cages havent been easy to clean for me. So, Ive settled into the fact that Ill need to replace mine ~6 months. Luckily, this cage has a shorter and cheaper version that I can purchase to replace the base when the time comes.
Bar climbing: horizontal bar spacing is a little far for rats climbing, theyre getting used to it though! We had a few falls early on though.
okay, no more negatives haha! onto the things that I like!
Color is aming!
Plastic platforms are easy to remove and clean
The doors are HUGE, I can stick my whole head in through them
Pull out litter drawer, this is a freaking game changer!
Very secure latching mechanism for doors
Took a chance and it paid off!
