MidWest Homes for Pets Critter Nation Double Unit Small Animal Cage, 4 Tiers, Includes Pan, Shelf, Ramp & Cover, for Rats, Ferrets, Chinchillas, Sugar Gliders

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.

Outstanding cage! I started with 2 rats in a Freddy Savic 2 cage. I knew I wouldn’t be able to help myself and not buy more rats so I did and upgraded to this cage after reading the reviews. My one, huge regret is that I didn’t buy this cage first. Had I done so, I wouldn’t have needed to buy another. Suitable for multiple rats, horizontal bars all round, can leave the middle part on or off for an even bigger space for your furries, add or leave out the shelving ( I did as they tend to be pee magnets!) the addition of fully opening double doors on both top and bottom is so sensible as allows for ease of handling your pocket puppies and cleaning. I have absolutely nothing negative at all I can say about this cage. Superior quality that is just amazing. The only thing I’m having trouble with is trying to stop myself adding more rats 😆 Seriously, don’t think about buying this cage, just DO IT!!!

This is literally the best rat cage money can buy. Great, sturdy quality. It also looks nice as an added bonus. It was easy to build in no time, probably about 10 minutes - it did require a little bit of rubber malleting but that's worth it for the sheer quality of this thing. Seriously, it's amazing. I love it. My rats love it. It's like a mansion for rats! It's so easy to clean, the doors are 100% perfect, you can access all corners of the cage easily. The undercage storage is great for keeping all your pet's toys, food, bedding etc. The locking wheels work well too and make cleaning behind and under the cage easy rather than a chore. All in all, if you want rats, or presumably other small pets, this is the ONLY cage you should buy!

Good cage for the most part but it is not the most sturdy cage you'll ever see, can be wobbly. Doors open and close fine but not aligned , both left side doors are 'lower' than the right. Easy to assemble but watch out if the holes dont line up through bad manufacturing- I had to prise open a couple of the gaps to make bigger to allow the cage to slot in Also, the base is probably 1"x1" too small so moves around the bottom, but when the substrate & toys etc are in not noticeable but as there is a lack of 'guard' or side panels all the substrate is going to end up being pushed out so i will look for some perspex as a surround to stop mess.

I'm absolutely blown away by the quality and how big the unit at actually. My four boys that are around 1 years older absolutely loving it they have so much space. For the price is an absolute bargain if you buy a cage from pets at home you're looking around 110 pound and even then it's only a temporary until they get older

I dropped the bottom of the cage (and added a deep perspex base) and it's a nice spacious cage even just the bottom half. It feels sturdy. It's nice to know you can the top level in the future. The cage is sturdy, and since it has horizontal bars all over it makes it easy to hang lots of things. I use it for my rats and I think if the space is used wisely you can have 4-5 rats in it. The wheels also work well and it's easy to move it. The cage was easy to assemble but I did need my husband to use some force in one bit, everything else I did it myself with no issues. The instructions could be a bit more user friendly, make sure to actually read it before assembling it (I didn't and had to go back a couple of steps).

Been wanting a bigger and better cage for my 4 male rats since I didn’t like their first one and this one I wasn’t sure about because the amount of money I spent on it. The cage arrived on the day they said it would which was good, delivery was terrible though, I was at least expecting them to put it in the porch to help me out a bit I’m 5ft I couldn’t of lifted that inside on my own. Instead the delivery person placed it on my drive which is fully open! So I had to stand with it and wait until a family member came home to help me. So for that reason I am disappointed in their delivery service as well. To put it up was easy ish some bits were harder than the other but we got there eventually. The cage itself I do love because it has big double doors that open fully and is very spacious which I like. The doors help with interacting with your rats as well. They only thing I would say is that it’s not the best quality, you’re paying £300 for a cage it should be top knotch but it wasn’t, my doors don’t shut even ones lower than the other, sometimes I have trouble shutting them. Always double check every time I shut them. Apart from the cage doors it is a brilliant cage but I am disappointed after paying £300 and the doors aren’t even and that they’re hard to close.

My first cage for my 2 boys was the paw hut.. would never buy again. Within 3 months it was rusting and just wasnt great accessibility wise to clean. The critter nation.. well. Its not cheap but im so glad I upgraded and invested. So much better built. Sturdy and spacious. The doors are great as they fully open allowing for easy access and cleaning. So easy to use, assemble and keep if you have the room. A massive difference and my 2 boys abs love it. I dont overfill mine as im quite hygienic and my boys dont lime overcrowded cage so just enough in there for them. I wish id have done the research and got this first time and saved myself £80 buying the wrong thing

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.

Very nice cage. Big and easy to clean. It came a bit dented, probably from shipping. I had to gently hammer it into shape before I could assemble it. Bought the extra coverings and scatter guard. Without it the shallow bottom tray can not hold the required amount of bedding.

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!

This is an amazing enclosure for our four dwarf rats. They have so much space to run around and play. Great quality too!
