Those are cool. The one we have for Al is long and has glass on all sides, but we allow him to run outside of his cage every day for exercise.

I've gone back to some threads I missed while providing care to first Wili, then Locutus. I realize this question might well be resolved by now, but I thought I'd toss in my 2 bits... www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753641&keepsr=0Nice looking cage, and yes it DOES look alot like a Ferret Nation, which are very attractive. My complaints about this cage: vertical bars; middle floor is not a solid surface (I'm of the camp that floors should not be wire, or else should be covered). The thing that keeps me from getting a FerretNation (by the way, they now have a CritterNation --which was first to be called "RatNation", but they changed it-- which is better suited to rats) is that you open the entire door (full wall of the cage) and there's no lip or other deterant to stop the rat from charging right out and falling. www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753263&keepsr=0#prodTab1I love virtually everything about this cage (I *am* a SuperPet fan). My only concern is the plastic bottom. However, it IS better than the smaller SP cage I had: the one you show has the 'cage' portion drop almost entirely into the bottom. The one I had sat alot higher, so exposed more of the plastic, which the boys chewed through one night (at the back, of course, so mom couldn't see it at first!! - the first set of shelves were positioned quite low and gave them good cover!). This is the cage I would like to get, but I'd have to figure out something for that base. I'm told females chew more then males, so maybe it's better as a frat house  Hugh and Locutus chewed basically nothing, but they sure did a job on that base! www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3057119I've eye-balled this cage recently, and it might be my next choice. Other than the wire shelves (which can be covered) I like everything else about it. Bar spacing is good, too. Note: I was just reading this before sending off, and I checked -- besides the SP cage, neither of the other two says they are powder-coated bars. Those are better, as coating of painted bars can be chewed/chipped. |
