MidWest Homes for Pets Ferret Nation Single Unit Small Animal Cage, 2 Tiers, Includes Pan, Shelf, Ramp & Cover, for Ferrets & Other Small Animals

I love this cage I have 3 ferret an had two large cages this one cage is way easier to clean they have ample space to play an doork with each other my husband says it was easy to put together if ypu a person who builds stuff but if you don't the instructions suck because none of the parts are labeled an the instructions it dose come with are weird an super super tiny an faded ...

This cage is large, durable, and my ferrets have plenty of fun in there when they aren't causing chaos outside of it. It was easy to build and moves alright.

Great for creating a large enclosure for fosters!

We have a rabbitry. I purchased this last fall (a three story cage) to put in the garage for sick buns or raising orphans or such, where I want to be able to keep a close eye on them all day long. I didn't put it together until recently though when Covid19 struck, the high school closed, and we had to very quickly move all the FFA meat rabbits meant for our county fair to our house. We hurriedly put it together and ended up using it to raise a mixed litter of 12 NZs and Calis. This product was not meant for this, and there have been some challenges, but I still couldn't be more happy with my purchase. The bunnies are active and (relatively) rough, and it has held up very well. (I wouldn't recommend putting this many rabbits in this cage long term though. It really isn't large enough, but desperate times...)My daughter and I put it together in an hour or so. It wasn't hard at all. I'd read the reviews and was prepared for it to be much worse. Each level had at least one panel whose peg was not set straight. A couple of taps with a hammer straightened them and solved the problem. The final product is very sturdy and well made. The knobs on the front don't line up, but they do shut securely.It definitely needs pee guards for rabbits. The first rabbit I put in it was an older buck who potty-trained right away but even he tended to miss occasionally and poop all over the place. The younger rabbits only sort of potty-trained (they much prefer to sleep in their toilet and poop right next to it). I wrapped the cage in plastic to try to help, but I'm going to have to find a way to add pee guards for future use.I cover the pans in fleece or old towels (towels work better, more absorbent). Changing them out is pretty easy. To keep it clean now that the buns are bigger (currently 4.5 lbs), I have to change out the towels daily. It takes about 10 minutes if I move the buns first. The pans all come in and out easily.I started off having the three levels closed to each other (so 4 buns per level) but they pretty quickly figured out how to unhook the ladders so that they could go visiting. There are ways around this (turn the upper pans) but I decided to let them all live together. The holes between levels are small and I doubt they will be able to get through them for more than a few more weeks, but a mini-rex sized rabbit would do just fine. The metal ladders are great and the buns use them. The plastic ladders are crappy. The plastic ladders tie with fabric onto the cage; the buns chewed them loose. Since buns don't actually need the ladders I tossed the plastic ones.One of the reasons I wanted to try this cage was the double opening doors. I really like that. It's much easier to get a buns out than the traditional wire cage hole.The buns can go from the bottom level to the very top in no time at all. In evaluating the buns, my daughter says they've got great back muscling from all the climbing. That's definitely another benefit of this cage.Overall, I'm very pleased with this cage!

TL;DR - I bought the Ferret Nation for my single chinchilla Poe and after a month I am very pleased overall. Easy to assemble, easy to clean, very spacious, a bit noisy without preparation. Get liners. 9/10Assembly was very easy, taking less than an hour. It does come with a screwdriver; it's not the best, so I'd recommend having your own handy if you've got one. I'm a bit on the shorter side (5'6") and I didn't even need a step stool, though I did have to stand on my tiptoes a time or two.Poe took to it very quickly; he love jumping and running around the spacious, multi-level home. The bars are surprisingly sturdy; they're able to support multiple platforms and a wheel (and Poe runs really hard on his wheel, so it's been stress tested in a way haha). I do wish there were a few more horizontal bars for more level options, but what it has is perfectly sufficient.I strongly suggest getting liners if for no other reason than to prevent your friend from trying to eat the plastic trays. Liners also help in cleaning up; I suggest getting two sets so you can swap them out for an efficient deep clean. Cleaning is super easy with the double doors so long as your not simultaneously trying to keep the beast contained within.The cage can be pretty noisy. The way the plastic trays sit on the wire bottoms and shelves make for a noisy time when Poe decides to plop down onto a platform. A little padding helps a great deal, so it's an easy fix. Back to the wheel: if your friend runs as hard on a wheel as mine does, the ENTIRE cage will shake, causing anything that can rattle and make noise to do so. Solutions will vary depending on the accessory, but its taken some trial and error. I've asked Poe to run a little more softly, but he's a terrible listener.My only other complaint is that the hook meant to attach to the ramp to isolate the two compartments doesn't reach all the way to the ramp. I've resorted to using a binder clip or safety pin and it works out; Poe is weak and can't break the seal the confines him. Pets with allies and/or more points in strength might not be contained so easily.The cage came strongly recommended to me and I would extend that recommendation. Poe seems very contended, but didn't have anything to say when asked for comment.
