This review written by MRS. Robert Hamilton. This cage fit the criteria for a multi-day car trip for my cat. It was beyond my expectations in quality! Certainly perfect for a rabbit and suitable in this case for my 14 year old cat moving cross country in a few weeks. I had planned on placing a perch of some sort to utilize upper space. I did, she likes it, complete with her comfy toweling. This would be needed so she could see out of the car window as she lounged. No other cages gave me the space flexibility within the size footprint to fit in my Honda CRV. The perch was constructed with simple peg boarding and zip-ties, taking only 25 minutes to add, then covering with her towel. There is a lower and quite cozy sleeping chamber below I am not sure my cat will even find, for a rabbit its perfect! I have placed a small cat pan there with litter pearls. The section meant for bunny-business may also work for my cat and may examine the idea in the morning. Excellent quality and thought-out design especially for a bunny! The wheels are a must, but are removable. Entire hut very easy to assemble. Screws are used to secure all the details after snapping parts in place. So to think of it as being foldable is not accurate, but can be just as easily disassembled for storage.

The litterbox built into the cage is genius; my rabbit used it perfectly at first, but now he has a urinary tract infection, so he pees everywhere Because of this medical problem, I have seen the consequences of the cage when your rabbit is not litter trained. Droppings and urine on the hard surface next to the litter box are hard to sweep off into the litter box because of a small lip. The small staircase “grooves” between the litterbox and hard surface are also very difficult to clean. These tiny detail has become very time consuming and annoying. Also, the box is very high up, so I suggest a step stool to let your bunny in and out of the cage. This cage is best for people with backyard access to a hose, because that is the quickest way to a clean cage.

This cage is perfect! When my bunny (whom my son has named Ruby after “Max an Ruby” the cartoon)is feeling spunky she dashes around the lower level through the little door, up to the top level and back down she is so funny to watch! she has plenty of space up top to lay down and the bottom to go for some private time. Its easy to clean and easy to assemble. Couldnt ask for any thing better. I would recommend it to anyone with a rabbit or even guinea pig.

Based on other customers’ reviews, I chose this when I got my first rabbit a few months ago. I have been very pleased with it. It seems to be made of quality materials, and seems a comfortable home and a good design. (Of course bunny gets out for exercise.)

I only have one quibble with it, and that is the plastic lip that runs around the top floor of the bunny cage. It would be easier to clean that area without it. Otherwise, I recommend it.

My rabbit loves this cage. I would not recommend it for a large rabbit but my Netherland dwarf mix fits in the cage with room to spare. He loves that he can escape to the den area beneath. He has become less stress because he can retreat to the lower level and relax. I enjoy the built in litter pan. It took him a couple of days to catch on but he uses the litter pan religiously now. The cage is very durable. I also enjoy that the unit is on wheels. It makes cleaning so much easier to move the cage outside. It cleans very easily too. Just a quick wipe down will do. Overall this is the best rabbit cage I have ever had. The price is another huge selling point as well.
