For anyone who has bought this cage, is it really worth it? I'm REALLY debating on this cage because my rats cage is too small!

I loved this cage for my ferrets. I only had two of them and it worked great. I know that rats chew quite a bit, and wonder if they would chew on the plastic parts. Aside from that it should work great for one or two.

I felt this cage was too small for my needs. I suggest measuring out the dimensions to see if You like the size.

Imo, it's definitely worth it! I have 3 of them...one for each Degu and they have plenty of room. The cage is sturdy and easy to clean. You can also take out the bottom grill part so they're just walking on the bedding. Hope this helps with your decision.

It is a nice sturdy case, on rollers, and plenty of inside space. It is probably perfect for max 3 girls, or 2 boys. I only have one boy and it is plenty of room. I let my boy free roam when I am home, so he is not stuck in the cage for lenghlty times. However this is an excelent one, and it is really easy to clean since trays are pulling out and door can be opened. Unlike the standard rat cages. If you have more rats, should consider the Critter Nation Cage. Hope this helped. Thank you

I think they would like it . It is about the same size coconut you would buy in the store so you could easily lay it in the cage or find a way to hang it if you think the opening has to face up , then you might want to drill acouple holes in it for some drainage if the rat goes to the bathroom in his little house . the opening is about 3 inches across . You could probably even fit som nesting material in it for your little friend . Hope thus helps you .

I think you will need a larger cage. this one is very nice and I really like , but not enough room for larger, My little parrotlet has one larger for moving about. That is my thought.Buy bigger.24x24 at least. hope this helps

I think it is perfect for my 2. They run around like wild men in there. If you have room for it, I would go with the bigger cage. The guinea pigs will be much happier.

It's fine for one rat. But rats are social, and we have a mama and her two daughters. The cage is too small for three grown rats. It is chew proof though.

Not big enough for three baby rats. Two would be pushing it, that is if you don't intend to put in a wheel. I actually have two of these cages, good condition. If you are interested, I'll give you more detail.

I have this cage with one full grown male rat and he seems happy. He's not real active so he doesn't need a lot of room, we call it a retirement cage :) I have two baby girl rats and they're very active and I have them in a three story cage where they have more room to climb. Hope that helps!

It depends on how big your rats are. I have two female rats who are about 5-6 months old and while there is still plenty of room I am already planning on getting a larger cage for them. They aren't cramped by any means, but in another few months they will need something larger to be able to exercise and play in. My suggestion, if they are smaller plan on this cage to keep them up to 1 year of age, then it will be time to move into a bigger cage.

No, I suggest multiple cages or a larger one than this. I got this cage for my dwarf hamster and it is perfect size for her ALONE. I would say if your hamsters get along with each other this would be adequate for only 2 dwarf hamsters only, TOTAL! No more than two! Make sure they have a wheel or 2 wheels AND plenty of food and a good water source! Make sure they are happy and care for your little pets you will only have them for a short amount of time. A two cage set up would be more appropriate for two hamsters even if the cages are connected still make sure they get along. Most hamsters will need to be separated unless they are siblings. Be careful with them as they are unpredictable! Best of luck! No, I suggest multiple cages or a larger one than this. I got this cage for my dwarf hamster and it is perfect size for her ALONE.

I have 2 full grown male rats in mine, they have plenty of space and love it. Happy boys :) Just let them out to play every now and then.

I used this as a good travel cage if they were going to and from the vet for example but I would not use this as a primary cage, its definitely not big enough (especially if you have two rats, which is good because the are social). A good cage size to look for would be the petco rat manor. The rat manor enclosure does have wire than can be sharper (especially as it ages) in some places so I just cut little blankets to put over the wire and it worked perfect. It also is fairly easy to clean too. For just a bit more you get a way better enclosure.

My daughter's male rats are two months old and both fit in there quite nicely.... they are cozy in it. One of them LOVES this thing... the other rat doesn't seem to like it as much. They like the ladder part. However, when full grown? I don't think they will fit. I will try to update my answer when we get to that stage. I recommend lining it with fleece or paper towels so you can clean it out easier.

yes - barely. I would recommend looking for a different cage - We have found it impossible to disassemble it - other than that, it is a fine cage, I would look at a different maker and a three tier - worth a little more money.

We keep four very large rats in ours. There is plenty of space, the only issue we have is waste management. The more rats that occupy the cage the more frequent cleaning is needed.

I don't feel as though it is big enough for cocatiels, especially more than one. The cage is nice. Just go for a larger one.

No I originally bought the cage for my Derbyan Parakeet but when I got the cage it was only 18 by 18 - the picture and what they call a "large" cage are very deceiving. I kept the cage because it is nice for my White Capped Pionous who is only 9" long from head to tail and he is out on his cage all day and only sleeps in it. It was very dissapointing that it was only made for small parrots - I have four other similar cages from different companies and they house my conures. The advertisement for those cages were 18 by 18 and that is what this particular cage is. Hope this answers your question.

I think the wheel i got was called a silent spinner they're a bit pricy but they're safe for my rats and they're....SILENT! what a plus lol. Over all, this cage work great and both my rats live together more than comfortably in it, very spacious. There are a few kinks i had to work out. 1. It's made for birds, so the 4 doors on the front either have to be wired shut. Or you can bend the wires that allow it to slide up and down over the support wire to secure it, if you want i can send a pic of how we did it. 2. because it's made for birds, there is a slide out wire bottom which is bad for critter feet, so instead, we put the pan on top of the wire bottom. 3. The pan isn't deep and allows bedding to fall out. To minimize it, we used cheep trim from home depot to build a barrier and keep the bedding in, bit there are many ways to fix that issue. 4. They didn't include all of the levels in the first shipment, but when i contacted them they send the last level to me free of shipment charge and were very polite about handling the problem. Like i said over all, it is a great cage and for the price, ya can't beat it. I searched everywhere and most cages like this go for no less than 200. It's also very sturdy. I don't know exactly what you mean by economical, but i Hope this helped. If you have anymore questions, my email is tori.andrez2607@gmail.com and id be happy to help
