So the large trays are solid? There are no wire floor above it? I'm asking because the cage we have now has a wire floor with a pull-out tray beneath.

the plastic slide out tray sits on top of the wire frame cage. The trays are completely solid.

It has a wire bottom like the rest of the sides and roof. But has two slide trays that can be removed and place back in very easily because of how wide the doors open The smaller tray sits on a bracket rack sort of thing that can be moved around.

The tray sits on medal bars. If the animal poops on the tray the animal sits in poop. I use litter boxes and it works great. Love this cage.

The top panel of the cage is a solid piece. If you are comfortable with cutting and filing down the wires to modify it yourself, it is possible. It was not designed to be added on to.

The one of these designed for rabbits is called the Rabbit Hutch with a View (ASIN: B0029ETGJQ). I can't speak to its quality or anything, but the design is definitely different. The sleeping area does not have a wire floor (according to one of the reviewers), it is a removable plastic tray like this. The wire in the run looks less predator resistant, but the openings and the ramp are definitely more tailored to rabbits. I would probably reinforce the wire on the run of the "rabbit" one with hardware cloth, but it looks nice for a wooden hutch.

There is grating under the tray. We put a bed/mat in addition to the tray. My 80 lb lab is very comfortale in the 36" size.

The upper level has a tray that pulls out, but bottom level is open. My husband added a piece of plywood to the floor and added some very thin walls going half way up the wire sides, due to the fact that my rabbit was making messes on our floor. My rabbit loves her new home.

The wire floor itself is a completely separate piece so you have the option of just having the bottom tray as a floor. It's easier to clean if you have the wire floor in though, as you can completely pull out the bottom tray like a drawer and empty it. We have kept the wire floor in and our chinchilla does just fine with it.

The ramps and platforms have 'mesh' of interwoven wire with openings pretty close to ¼" square. My two gerbils have not had any problems with it (and love the High Rise).

I don't know where you are seeing horizontal bars. The only place where these might be is where the tray is for the cat to perch on. Otherwise, this cage is completely open inside. There are also two doors, one on top and a lower one. Perhaps these are the bars you are seeing in the photo?

Yes it does. And the wires sit above the tray. I have a chinchilla so I took out the wire bottom and I'm just using the tray. And I had to buy other ledges cause her feet are too small for the wire bars

We did not like the wire floor either, so we put the metal tray above the wire so that sit on the tray. It can be a little noisy when they move around a lot, but more comfortable for the pup.

Yes the flooring of the cage is barred. If you didn't screw on the bottom then yeah you could have no bars but I'd question it's structural integrity without a bottom.

There are the cage grates to hang toys in the inside of the cage. The tray slides in on top of those bars. I hope that answers your question.

No it's built in to it. My dog tore up anything I put in there with him, so he wouldn't be laying on bars. It's not so much wire, more like thick bars. The same bars throughout the whole cage. I ended up getting this matting stuff from Tractor Supply. It's meant for horse stalls I believe. But it is so heavy duty he couldn't tear it up.

I think the question is do they have the raised center hub (kind of a collar an inch high) with the slots in it? There are some of they trays that come without that and are kind of floppy in the middle. The FD-75A comes with the weak, cheapo trays.

Hi... The wires are just metal. This is a really nice cage and is very easy to clean.

I don't think the wires are thin; my cage was bought a year ago so don't know if there's been any changes by manufacturer. Unless you're going to have a lot of extra heavy items in the top cage, I see no reason why you can't put a second cage on top. Since the bottom of the cage is a little narrower than the top, I would put a piece of cardboard, cut exactly or even larger than the top, on the top of the first cage, then put the second cage on that. It will help distribute the weight more evenly. I've used the top of my cage as a table...it's held books, houseplants (NOT in heavy ceramic pots!), flashlight, bags of hamster food, 2 liter bottle water.

I'm not sure what you mean- your chinchillas SHOULD just be running around on the tray. The wire bottom of the cage is only meant to hold up the tray. If your tray is not on top of the wire bottom, you have put it together slightly wrong. Note that the wire bottom is easily removable (i.e. by tilting up one side and sliding it out), and that the plastic tray fits on top of the wire bottom. So just put the plastic tray on top of the wire bottom and slide BOTH pieces back in with the tray on top. Does that make sense?
