MidWest Homes for Pets Deluxe Critter Nation Double Unit Small Animal Cage (Model 162)

This is a great cage! Honestly one of the best cages you can buy for rats! The only thing I don't like is for the price it could be built a little better! Overall it's really good, the issue is the doors! Like everyone else has said, the doors are crooked and don't quite perfectly lock in the holes. They will shut and they will stay shut, but you've got to be careful and make sure you close them properly and push them in, otherwise you might end up coming in the room to see your rats have escaped and are sitting on top of the kitchen counter 🤦 So just make sure those doors are locked shut! Or perhaps could get some clips or ties to make sure the doors are even more secure! Other than the doors... It's a great size! Sturdy and look great! All doors open fully, so it makes cleaning easy! And lots of space and bars and hooks on the ledges to hang stuff. You can keep the ledges in or take them out. You can DIY wood or plastic guards around the bottoms to keep bedding in and so they don't kick it out all over the floor. And it has a fair amount of space underneath for you to store their food and toys and is easy to move around. Definitely happy with the purchase.

Der Käfig wirkt sehr robust, der Zusammenbau war relativ einfach (hab ihn alleine aufgebaut). Er ist extrem geräumig und man kann sehr viele Versteck- und Klettermöglichkeiten anbringen. Für den Preis Top! Meine 5 Köpfige Ratten Bande tobt schon den ganzen Tag darin. Der Abstand der horizontalen Gitterstäbe beträgt 1,3 cm und ist auch problemlos für weibliche Ratten geeignet. Einziges Manko bei mir war, das eines der vorgestanzten Löcher im Metall, welche die Halterungen des Zwischenbodens aufnehmen, nicht ausgestanzt war und ich musste mit der Bohrmaschine durchbohren, war aber relativ easy. Die Bezüge für die Halb- und Volletagen und auch ein Streuschutz für den untersten Boden gibt es separat zu diesem Käfig zu kaufen. Klare Kaufempfehlung meinerseits.

What is there to say that hasn't already been said? This is THE CAGE for pet rat owners. If you need more room later this cage literally sells extensions to just make it this cage+. It's spacious, its got a solid floor and thats easy to remove for cleaning and its got doors that open all the way up for easy access to your furry friends. It was also very easy to put together. The only suggestion I have is to have a screwdriver on hand. They send you one but that little thing isn't really cut out for the job. A mallet is suggested by the instructions but you can make do. (I did) The all metal construction makes for a heavy box but the thing has wheels once put together and that same metal is why it wont easily break later. I went from a normal sized cage to this little rat mansion and my boys have literally been bouncing and running around in there all week. They're way more comfortable and active now that there's more play space. If you're looking at the price and wondering if you should... Yes. In the long run you'll be better served by one cage that lasts a lifetime then having to rebuy new cages your pets grew out of. It's a smart purchase and this thing comes highly recommended on pretty much every forum for rat lovers. Edit: I forgot to mention one thing. They also sell little scatter guards for this cage specifically to keep your friends from redecorating the rest of your house with their bedding. I'm reviewing those separately but Id get them as well. They're cheap and they solve the only real issue with this cage... The shallow floor pan.

Great add on to my double was a nightmare to build not going to lie and took 2 of us to build but it’s definitely worth it if your looking to expand

Easy set up, recommend at least a hammer to help but easily done by 1 person. Really lovely locking system on doors, doors are large and can easily get inside of cage to clean. Was amazed about the size, absolutely huge! Highly recommend for any rat owner as bar spacing is perfect and the horizontal bars make hanging hammocks and other toys and such super easy!
