Pros
1. It's a solid cage. Once it's put together, we both feel very confidence that it will last a while as long as we take good care of it.
2. It doesn't take overly long to put together and the instructions were good enough. It requires a bit of tinkering and I highly recommend 2 people put it together, but it went up rather quickly.
3. Love the shelf below the cage for ferret supplies. It fits all of his bedding, food, litter, treats, etc without problem.
4. Love the size. It stands about 5 feet tall overall and the ferret has a ton of space to roam around and play. He seems to be enjoying himself so far.
5. Comes with a hammock. Can't complain about that. The little guy will likely chew it down like he usually does but he enjoys having them while they last.
6. Love that there are doors on the top and bottom level. It makes getting to him, his food dish, and his litter tray far easier. The latch system is also easy to use.
7. The platforms and various pieces seem well constructed. Ours didn't lean or feel of low quality.
8. The wheels are a nice touch. Makes wheeling the cage around easier.
9. Love that the bedding tray is below the floor. We have a digger and one who likes to stay up late. We gave him plenty of stuff to play with but the digging needed to stop and this helped a lot.
10. His old water bottle latched to the side of this one perfectly fine as did his litter tray.
Cons
1. Like others, ours had a few bent pieces. Nothing too dramatic that some careful plyer work won't fix, but don't expect a totally flawless product. I also blame part of it on the shipping company because it is a heavy box and mistakes get made. Human beings and all.
2. It is really heavy. Put it together in the place you'll be keeping. Don't be stupid and assemble it downstairs then carry it upstairs like me.
3. The very top door (on top of the cage) doesn't seem like it's all that difficult to open. Here's hoping he doesn't figure that out.
Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I think this probably deserved a better rating although my expectations for what a good cage should be are probably lower than most because his last cage was just awful. I would recommend this to people as long as they keep the cons in mind.
The cage is roomy enough for my two boys and I plan on adopting another. There are a couple of negatives. The floors are wire, which is not good for little feet. I had a stack of floor tile in the basement. It's not the hard ceramic, but the kind that you can score with a knife and break. I cut the tiles to fit the cage floors and now my boys have pink tiled floors. It's very pretty and if they get too hot, they can cool their little bodies on the tile. I'd also ordered two chinchilla chillers for them to lay on if they become hot, but have never even used them because the floor tile is adequate. Only the right side cage doors open because the floors attach to the left. That's not a problem for me, especially since one of my fuzzies loves to jump into my arms. This gives him less room to launch! I clipped plexiglass pieces where the food bowl and water bowl is located to keep the residue off my wall when they take a drink and sling their heads. The ramps are metal (the older version of the cage had plastic ramps) and they're a little slick. I solved this problem by making my own ramp covers with some fabric I bought on sale at walmart.
The cage is excellent for the money, but a pain to assemble. I'm a female and did it by myself, but it took over two hours because I had to take several sections apart and redo as I went. One thing that I did wrong that I've not fixed and won't because it takes too long is that my pan slides out from the back of the cage instead of the front, so watch out for that when assembling. It makes no difference to me because I don't use it anyway since I have tile on the floor. It's all a breeze to clean with a little vinegar water on a paper towel and doesn't hold odor like some cages. Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat.
UPDATE TO ABOVE REVIEW
I've owned this cage for a year now and it's time for an update. I have very active male ferrets. This cage may be okay if you have mild mannered or older ferrets who just putter around. My boys have broken two of the cage bars and escaped. The bars are flimsy on this cage and I can no longer recommend it except for the most docile ferrets. I've ordered a Ferret Nation cage, which is what I should have bought to start with but I was a new ferret owner and it's so expensive getting started.
