Perfect Rodent Cage but…

Perfect Rodent Cage but…
I finally upgraded from a single to a double when I bought the upper level this week. Building the top was so much easier than the original single just because I struggled with putting the bottom shelf together alone. The cage is perfect with the wide opening doors. It makes cleaning very easy. The trays slide right out the front. The horizontal bars have such a small margin of spacing that this cage can house any rodent.The good parts being said, both the single and double that I ordered months apart, both came from Amazon with damages. Nothing that couldn’t be handled. I did contact Midwest over the phone because the single arrived with both plastic pans having huge cracks. The shelf pan had a busted corner and wasn’t usable, and I had already built the cage, so Midwest sent me replacements for free after I sent them photos. Their customer support is top notch and even though the pans could have been a bit better protected in the packaging, Amazon crushed the corner of the box.Last night I took the double out of the box and all seemed well at first. The pans were perfect this time but when I put the back cage wall up I noticed one of the metal squared peg holes was bent with the red plastic protector still inside of it. Luckily it wasn’t something a hammer couldn’t fix. I tapped on it enough to reposition it where it belongs, and used the claw of the hammer to pry it back into a square shape, then I was able to hammer the side wall down so the peg fit into the square, so all is well and it’s a tight fit.When it comes to pet homes, bigger is always better. My 2 rats are loving their expanded mansion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect cage for my 3 ferrets!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020
1. Easy To Clean & Decorate

I absolutely LOVE this cage. The full sized doors are one of my favorite features of this cage. All I have to do to clean up is open the doors and wipe the trays down. Boom, that simple. No taking apart cages, no lifting up bars off of a plastic base, no more sticking arms through tiny doors to redecorate, none of that. It is so super easy to get in there and clean from corner to corner without the frustration and pain of jamming your arms through small doors, or lifting the whole top off of a plastic base.

2. The Space Is Awesome

The amount of space in this cage compared to other cages I've had, is fantastic. Having 3 ferrets, they need quite a bit of room to move around and play. This cage gives them a lot of room. Not only do they have 2 full floors, but also the 2 half floors. Inside this cage I have two 3 tier hammocks, a cozy cave hammock, a critter space pod, 2 midwest stainless food dishes, a double cat food dish, 1 large dog water bowl, 3 lock crock dishes (I use for treats), 1 large tunnel, 2 corner litter pans (Bandit loves to sleep in them), and the bottom to their old cage which I use as a giant litter box.

3. No Potentially Dangerous Falls

With the 2 full sized levels of the double unit, there is no potential for dangerous falls. Ferrets like to jump around and play. Some of the cages out there have half tiers going all the way up the cage. If a ferret falls from that top tier and hits the bottom of the cage, it could potentially be fatal. This cage doesn't have that issue.

4. Sturdy, Solid & Escape Proof

This cage is a beast, not only in size, but in sturdiness. This thing is heavy and solid. My ferrets are true escape artists. First off, they will scratch/chew their way out of anything if they can. They will find a way to open doors or squeeze through bars. Especially Booger, since she is much smaller than my other two. Which is why I got the critter nation, because of the smaller bar spacing. There is no way she is opening these doors or squeezing through these bars. The only time they "escape" is when I open their doors.

5. Happy Ferrets = Happy Owner

My trio of ferrets is happy in their new, much bigger cage. They have plenty of dishes, plenty of napping spots, and plenty of space to jump around and tackle each other. Smokey loves that she has so much space to scatter her food. She's my messy girl. Bandit loves that he can nap in any part of the cage. He's my lazy boy. And Booger is just happy to be with her friends in a nice big cage. She's my sweet girl. My ferrets are happy, which makes me happy.

I would absolutely recommend this cage for ferrets. Especially if you have a smaller ferret, as I do. Easy to clean, Spacious, Safe, Solid & Escape Proof. Perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I started out with this rat cage! Perfect for 4 rats
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2024
This cage is great if you don't have a lot of space at home, I have a small apartment. I love this cage and wish I got my boys the best from the start. I am 5 ft 1 tall, I have posted a photo of my shoulder next to the cage so you can get an idea of how tall the cage is, it has amble floor space. It has parts on it designed for hanging toys and hammocks on it. The double criteria nation can also be split by putting the ramp up, I have had to do this for a short while as I had to isolate one rat temporarily. The critter nation is the best of the best when it comes to rat cages and it is sooo worth it. It is best to save up to get this one than buy a slightly cheaper one and have to modify it or struggle to clean it, this one is soo easy to clean and spot clean as well, it is sturdy and well put together with no sharp peices. It truly has been made with rodents in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Très bonne cage
Reviewed in France on November 30, 2023
Je recommande cette cage car:

•nettoyage facile grâce à l’ouverture des portes qui es très très pratique
•le montage es facile malgré la notice compliquer à comprendre
•montage en moins de 1:00
•peut se monter avec juste une seul personne pas besoin de deux
•bac en plastique pratique fournie pour l’étage du haut et du bas
•il ont mis des protections pour les rempe très pratique pour pas laisser à nus et que les animaux se Blaise
•je ne l’aurais pas pris si sa m’avais coûter 400€ mais pendant le Black Friday il était à 200€ alors j’ai sauter dessus ☝️
•resemble beaucoup à la savic royal suite XL juste les bac sont différent mais ces le même principe en moins cher
•ils ont fournie le tournevis
•il y’a des roulette donc la cage n’es pas à même le sol et n’est pas possible de poser sur un meuble trop grande et lourd
•rangement en dessous pratique pour mettre des paniers et ranger nourriture et accessoires en trop

•🚨‼️⚠️ ne laisser pas vos rats ou autre rongeur grimper au dessus de la cage car elle es vraiment très très grande et les chute sont très possible si il n’arrive pas à redescendre

•seul bémol quand on le monte il faut vraiment forcer car les troue ne sont pas bien définie à certain endroit mais sinon très facile à monter
•carton vraiment très très lourd demander au livreur de vous aider à le mettre dans la pièce de votre choix si il es gentil moi il a fait
