 The Ferret Nation really is the best ferret cage there is! August 19, 2008
Kathryn Vincent (NW Indiana, USA)
Fellow "ferret friends" online will almost always recommend the Ferret Nation cage for their fuzzies. I previously didn't have the money for it so I purchased a generic version, with ramps that were steep and hard for my little girl ferret to climb up. I bought the Ferret Nation here when it was on sale, and I would recommend it to anyone. It has more than enough room for three ferrets, and so many places to hang hammocks and put beds. The ramps are not steep and I think that even elderly ferrets can get up them with ease. Also it is very easy to clean!
 Needs modifications to be a safe cage August 6, 2008

There are many reports of people's ferrets still getting legs trapped in ramps, between ramps, and toes in shelves. The new shelves they designed did nothing to fix it, it still has all sorts of gaps that your ferret's feet and toes can get stuck in.
However, if you know this, and you can buy sets of ramp covers and shelf covers, this cage is great. Contact me or comment if you want to know a mailing list where you can ask where to buy sets from, or google them. I've personally had ferrets get mangled in the cages. :( Two stars for not fixing the shelf problem, and not having solid ramps with no gaps. This cage would be perfect if it combined the best of super pet's solid ramps and shelves instead of the metal. Time to mod my cages...
 Very nice for a couple chins!! July 15, 2008

This is a great cage, not only for ferrets but also chinchillas. My review is concerning the fact that I bought this cage for my two baby chinchillas.
Pros:
1. The whole front of the cage is the doors. Pulling out the cage pan is easy, so cleaning is quick and not very messy.
2. The ramp connecting the two cages can be lifted up and locked to separate the cages. This is very useful for separating animals, and for cleaning. Move everyone to the top cage while you clean the bottom, and vice versa. I use this for separating my chins to spend one on one bonding time, without the other trying to escape.
3. The cage is HUGE! There is a lot of room to add anything and everything.
4. With the cage being two cages on top of each other, there are two `tops' to hang things like hammocks and swings.
5. There is a storage rack on the bottom to store anything. The only down side is it could look a bit messy. I plan on using sticky Velcro to attach a little skirt around the storage rack to cover the mess.
6. This cage is one of the better looking cages out there. No funky colors to look at.
7. This is one solid cage. The instructions were easy to read. It was a pain to put together myself, but it is possible. It would be easier for two people to put it together.
8. There is always the chance that you may want to still add another cage on top, and you can,
Cons:
1. The cage needs a few adjustments made to adapt it to chinchillas. The ramps aren't really the right type for chinchilla feet, the spacing allows chinchilla feet to fall through and their legs break easily. However, a black tube sock fits perfectly on the ramps. Also, I highly suggest buying fleece to cut and lie on the plastic shelves and weigh down with chinchillers. Or, remove the plastic shelves all together and replace with wood shelves that are safe. Plastic is highly discouraged for chinchillas, they chew everything and the plastic could cause serious harm and even death. Also, some people have reported that chinchillas have chewed the bottom pans, and those may need to be replaced. I supply my chins with enough other chew toys that aren't tempted by the bottom pans.
2. Not for chinchillas under two months of age. THEY WILL ESCAPE!!! Believe me.
It's a great cage, but I give it 4 stars as a chinchilla cage because it's not necessarily chin ready right out of the box without the few adjustments. But I would recommend this cage to anyone who is looking for a good quality cage for their chinchillas.
The best cage for ratties July 7, 2008
B. Loos (Indiana, USA)
Like many other reviewers, I bought this for a rat cage and I'm thoroughly impressed. Assembly was a little tricky and does require two people, but when that is said and done you won't be disappointed. Of course, if you are using this cage for rats, you will have to cover the outside with wire mesh to prevent escaping. Cleaning is fairly easy, all the floor pans and ramps can easily be removed for washing and easily wipe clean. One of my favorite features is the swing up ramp that gives you the ability to separate the two main levels, this prevents your animal from crawling all over the surface you are trying to clean.
I also love the fact that it offers additional storage on the bottom and wheels, as I move my cage fairly often so my girls can be in the same room as me.
This cage will save you money on bedding, make cleaning much easier,and give your ratties plenty of room to play.
My boys love their new home! May 20, 2008

I really love this product. It is huge so my Ratties have lots of room to run around and be separate if they want.
