Solid quality, generally easy to setup, great accessibility
We have two ferrets, but they aren't free roaming 100% of the time because we have other pets, so I had wanted to upgrade their cage for a bit to give them more space while they were in their cage, and this was the #1 recommended cage on forums when I looked into them, so I figured I would give it a try.This is a perfect setup for us. Plenty of space for both ferrets, lots of options for how to setup the levels, the trays and stairs are perfect (and it came with washable stair covers for them, which was a nice surprise), and everything in the cage is so easy to access. The double doors that swing open wide make cleaning so easy, and everything was easy to setup inside without any issues.Putting this together actually wasn't the worst experience, either. I did it by myself and it took me maybe 45mins, thought it was awkward at some parts where it would be easier to balance certain trays or panels with another person. Only issue I had was a single screw on the bottom didn't fit because apparently they didn't drill the hole large enough, so I had to zip tie the tray to the sides, which was fine. Considering the price tag on this, stupid mistakes like that are annoying, but the entire rest of the cage went together super easily and without any other issues, so overall, it wasn't a deal-breaker.I did wait until this was on sale for Thanksgiving, and it was $110 less than the current price, so if you're waiting to get this, Black Friday was a perfect time, honestly. Well worth it, we absolutely love the cage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Engineered, Badly manufactured, Housed 12 young rabbits successfully
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2020
We have a rabbitry. I purchased this last fall (a three story cage) to put in the garage for sick buns or raising orphans or such, where I want to be able to keep a close eye on them all day long. I didn't put it together until recently though when Covid19 struck, the high school closed, and we had to very quickly move all the FFA meat rabbits meant for our county fair to our house. We hurriedly put it together and ended up using it to raise a mixed litter of 12 NZs and Calis. This product was not meant for this, and there have been some challenges, but I still couldn't be more happy with my purchase. The bunnies are active and (relatively) rough, and it has held up very well. (I wouldn't recommend putting this many rabbits in this cage long term though. It really isn't large enough, but desperate times...)

My daughter and I put it together in an hour or so. It wasn't hard at all. I'd read the reviews and was prepared for it to be much worse. Each level had at least one panel whose peg was not set straight. A couple of taps with a hammer straightened them and solved the problem. The final product is very sturdy and well made. The knobs on the front don't line up, but they do shut securely.

It definitely needs pee guards for rabbits. The first rabbit I put in it was an older buck who potty-trained right away but even he tended to miss occasionally and poop all over the place. The younger rabbits only sort of potty-trained (they much prefer to sleep in their toilet and poop right next to it). I wrapped the cage in plastic to try to help, but I'm going to have to find a way to add pee guards for future use.

I cover the pans in fleece or old towels (towels work better, more absorbent). Changing them out is pretty easy. To keep it clean now that the buns are bigger (currently 4.5 lbs), I have to change out the towels daily. It takes about 10 minutes if I move the buns first. The pans all come in and out easily.

I started off having the three levels closed to each other (so 4 buns per level) but they pretty quickly figured out how to unhook the ladders so that they could go visiting. There are ways around this (turn the upper pans) but I decided to let them all live together. The holes between levels are small and I doubt they will be able to get through them for more than a few more weeks, but a mini-rex sized rabbit would do just fine. The metal ladders are great and the buns use them. The plastic ladders are crappy. The plastic ladders tie with fabric onto the cage; the buns chewed them loose. Since buns don't actually need the ladders I tossed the plastic ones.

One of the reasons I wanted to try this cage was the double opening doors. I really like that. It's much easier to get a buns out than the traditional wire cage hole.

The buns can go from the bottom level to the very top in no time at all. In evaluating the buns, my daughter says they've got great back muscling from all the climbing. That's definitely another benefit of this cage.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this cage!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best cage for ferrets!
Reviewed in Canada on July 13, 2022
This is by far the best cage for ferrets. Seriously, stop looking at other cages and just go with this one. You will not regret it!

3 years ago I picked up a "Critter Nation" cage second hand off kijiji for $100. It was at least 10 years old (if not older, the previous owner probably also got it second hand) and she would foster ferrets as well as even had birds living in it at some point. It lasted another 3 years with me and could have easily lasted a few more but we finally felt like getting a new cage when it went on sale. (We mainly wanted a replacement because it was kept in a garage for a few years which rusted and warped some of the metal making it so that it was really hard to take apart and put back together). We may even keep the old cage to foster ferrets in in the future or connect the cages together to make a super cage.

I can sing the praises of the old cage a bunch, but the new cage only had improvements. It was very easy to put together (minus one side piece where it got a little stuck on the metal and had a bit of a hard time getting in. Everything else went in easily). You do need 2 people to put it together, so prepare to find someone to help you! A rubber mallet can be helpful for getting the sides of the cage into place. You'll also probably need someone to help carry the box too. It is really heavy!

The cage itself has wheels which makes it easy to move when assembled and the wheels lock to stop it from rolling away. It is very spacious inside. I could probably fully fit inside one of the sections if I really wanted to! You can very easily fit inside and reach the back corners of the cage no problem. It's really customizable and super easy to change around. And most importantly it is SUPER easy to clean. It takes me 15 minutes for a regular clean and maybe 30 minutes for a more deep clean including litter boxes. The trays are completely removable (the doors open up fully so sliding the trays in and out is very easy) and they're made of a thick plastic that nothing really sticks to. It's very durable and will last for years, especially if it's upkept well!

The only flaw I had with mine was that because the box was so heavy, it got a little damaged. Some of the metal got scratched and the handle knobs got bashed in a little, but nothing that can't be fixed or affects the usability of the cage. It could have used a bit of better packaging around the knobs to keep them from getting damaged because there was only really a thin piece of cardboard and some tape to protect them.

This is a very good cage and I highly highly recommend it!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Buona gabbia
Reviewed in Italy on December 15, 2023
La gabbia è molto comoda, grazie al fatto che è possibile aprire completamente le porte. Tuttavia, visto il prezzo, presenta dei difetti non indifferenti: innanzitutto alcune parti mi sono arrivate arrugginite, infatti anche all'interno della scatola era presente della ruggine; secondo difetto è rappresentato dai vassoi in plastica. Avendo dei roditori all'interno della gabbia era inevitabile che prima o poi li rosicchiassero, infatti ho già dovuto acquistare un ricambio. Il problema è che la MidWest non vende in Italia i vassoi in alluminio, ma solo una cornice per evitare appunto il rosicchiamento del vassoio e la caduta di oggetti fuori dalla gabbia. Nonostante i difetti però, consiglio l'acquisto perché la reputo una delle migliori gabbie in commercio.
