We bought this cage for our daughter's rabbit. This was our first rabbit and I read that you don't want a cage smaller than 4'x2'. We saw the cage locally, but it was >$100. When we bought from Amazon, it was $77.99.
Negatives:
Assembly took a little bit of staring at the picture on the box to figure things out and the casters were very hard to install (took a lot of force).
The front cage doors are a little finicky. You slide down the thumb release and it opens fine, but closing takes a little bit of lining up to get it to lock again.
Positives:
Great value. Nothing else came close for $78
Nice and big for animals that need the room (4'x2')
My daughter loves the blue color
The two top doors make it easy to add hay/food and clean without letting the animal out.
The two shelves are nice to give the animal more room. We put in only one shelf.
The plastic makes it easy to clean ("stuff" doesn't stick). We use a Dustbuster like portable vacuum for easy removal of rabbit droppings.
If the cage is on the floor, you can open the doors and they act like steep ramps so your animals can come and go as they please (if you are letting them stretch their legs, but you want them to have access to food/water).
Despite the few negatives, I am still giving a five start rating because the value is through the roof.
My daughter's rabbit is a Holland Lop (dwarf rabbit) and is one pound right now and should get to 3 - 4lb. The plastic shelves my be a little thin for a much heavier rabbit/animal.

Love all Kaytee products & They have great C.S.
Originally bought the smaller version,- half the size... I adopted her in a terrarium so I thought it was a palace and so did she for a while... she grew and I wanted something bigger for her....I definitely got it. Box looked banged up- I was worried but all was perfect inside. Yes, I was challenged putting it together... But it's together now and I LOVE it.... More importantly Gwynnie Pigtrow is a happy girl.

El tamaño ideal para mi conejitos enanos, les encanta su nueva casita, sólo es un poco complicada de armar por primera vez.
