Midwest Homes for Pets Deluxe Rabbit & Guinea Pig Cage, X-Large, White & Red

OVERALL: I love this cage! I've owned guinea pigs for years and have had several different types, including Midwest, but this is my favorite.SIZE: It's a great size for my 2 females (note that females aren't always as territorial as males). There is plenty of space for a pigloo/hidey and for zoomies!ACCESSIBILITY: The huge door is perfect for cleaning the cage so I don't have to squeeze my arm in or take the cage apart completely. It's a bit of a hassle at first because you have to line it up with the edge of the plastic tray/bottom before you lock it, but you'll get used to it and it's still worth having. Plus who wants to squeeze their poor piggie through a small door/opening when they take the piggie out? (The answer is NO ONE!)ADD-ON PIECES: It came with a ramp and a ledge/second level but guinea pigs are not climbers. However, they are hiders and they love to hide under it! It's like a built in hidey space. I put a chenille type rug underneath it for cuddly comfort.ASSEMBLY: I am *horrible* at putting things together but I did 99% of the assembly myself! Took me a bit to figure it out and line everything up, but I did it and it's nice and sturdy.

Our Lyon Head rabbit loves her home. After 2 1/2 months we are very glad we got this for her. The size is perfect, enough room to run around. She spends most of the time on her shelf. Good size. She takes the feeder off so put her goodies on the built in bowl, spinach and carrots. Works good. She uses her hideout when she feels uncomfortable. Doesn't spend much time in there though. Very nice for her to have a secure place to go.The hay feeder is working good now that we found a small grate to put in so she couldn't pull all of the hay in all at once.Being able to open 1/2 of the cage to clean it is really really nice. Very convenient. She is comfortable in the cage and doesn't try to get out when it is open. The way the doors are engineered they are very easy to use. Easy to stay open and easy to lock closed. Also with the large opening it is easy to get her out for brushing and loving time.We would give this 10 stars.The sides are high enough to keep the litter in. Because she is on the shelf most of the time we are able to see her, so the sides being high is not a problem.The cage is very sturdy and well designed. Very little chewing on the plastic. It was very easy to put together. Instructions were good, understandable.

I bought this cage (the XL size) for 2 female Guinea Pigs. I really like it! Pretty much the same size as the Midwest guinea pig cage that everyone recommends but a nice solid bottom (easy to clean and won't get nasty like a canvas bottom) and sturdier construction (which I wanted since I have cats).I prefer aspen shavings to fleece and the high sides keep the bedding and hay nicely contained. I have the platform set up in the middle of the cage instead of to one end so my girls can hide under it but can also race around the whole peremiter of the cage like a race track (which they love to do).I've no issues with the water bottle leaking. I had even bought a pricier one before getting this cage after reading reviews and that's the one that leaks!Since the front of the cage fully opens I have a pet playpen with fleece on the floor attached to the front and just open it up to give them more floor space to play when I'm home watching them. Just give them a little ramp to get in and out.Putting the cage together was fairly easy. Just don't be scared to use some force to get things to snap into place.Cons: while this cage is big enough for 2 female Guinea Pigs it would not be enough room for 2 males without the addition. However - they do sell an addition or you could make one.My cage did come with a small crack where the grey section hooks into the burgundy. I suspect this happened from the way the delivery guy tossed it on my porch. Thankfully it was just cosmetic and in no way impacts the use of the cage. The box it is delivered in could have been sturdier.
