    • Best Cage on the Market for My Rats!
Color: Gray Quartz Size: 36.0"L x 25.0"W x 38.5"H
I’ve tried a few different cages for my two rats, and the MidWest Homes for Pets Deluxe Critter Nation Cage is hands down the best on the market. The build quality is top-notch, and it’s the safest cage I’ve found for my pets. The design is spacious, giving them plenty of room to play and explore. The leak-proof pans make cleaning a breeze, and the included shelf, ramp, and ramp cover are great for creating different levels of activity in the cage. The four locking wheel casters are a huge plus, making it easy to move the cage around without worrying about it tipping over. It’s sturdy, secure, and the perfect size for my two rats. I feel so much better knowing they have a safe and comfortable home. If you’re looking for a durable, reliable, and safe cage for small pets, you won’t find anything better. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ... show more

    • Huge, heavy, no tools needed, beer or wine recommended for assembly [not included]
Color: Gray Quartz Size: 36.0"L x 24.0"W x 63.0"H
This thing is a beast to assemble - certainly have at least one other person assisting you if only for bartending duties. I went rogue and tackled the project on my own. I can see that you could make a drinking game with friends out of assembling it for every time someone swears. All will be hammered within the hour. You need at least two people to carry the box to avoid likely permanent back injury - no joking, kids. Indicates "No tools required" and they include this hateful little phillips screwdriver thing that looks like a bottle opener [subliminal suggestion, perhaps, and it's just a tease as it certainly IS NOT a bottle opener], but I opted to use a much better-suited 14V cordless screwdriver and an actual church key bottle opener to make at least some of the assembly easier and the retention of my sanity more likely. Once together, it's an imposing piece of hardware but rolls very easily and has locking wheels for once you get it to where it's going. Castles weigh less. They should make little trebuchets and guard towers as accessories to fit. Maybe even little ferret guard uniforms. Many pieces interlock or otherwise fit together without hardware - nice touch - but it did prove problematic with two of the 4 end panels where I had to enlist the assistance of a block of wood and a hammer to get things to line up and go together. Instructions recommend having a rubber mallet on hand but I'm fairly strong and don't believe that would have sufficed for the couple issues I encountered during assembly. Guessing, actually, the rubber mallet would have eventually been violently thrown thru a window out of frustration and due to the recoil and nailing one's self in the forehead with said device a few times. Very solid and sturdy once together, quite the palace for an ungrateful ferret. Get the optional Accessory Kits 2 & 3, which install fairly easily and should make machine washing a simple task - since the mongrels stare you straight in the eye like a boss while defecating BESIDE their totally clean made-for-ferrets litter boxeS. Total time to assemble: one six pack and half a bottle of wine, but I finished the other half just as a reward to myself. ... show more

    • Critter Nation and Ferret Nation -- The Best Animal Habitats You Will Ever Own.
I have owned a Ferret Nation for years (over 10), in fact I owned two at one point. Given how well those cages held up (the second was given to a friend, and is still in like-new condition), I was ecstatic when I found the Critter Nation at a local PetsMart, and did more research online. The Ferret Nation and Critter Nation are essentially the same, except that the bars on the Critter Nation run horizontal and are not spaced as far apart as the Ferret Nation. The Critter Nation bars are even suitable for sugar gliders (they are only about the size of a chipmunk). In fact, I'm thinking about buying a second Critter Nation to upgrade my sugar gliders' housing, as the first one is in use by my more numerous pet rats currently. At this point, the Critter Nation is comfortably housing 8 pet rats, and is split into separate units by locking the ladder in an "up" position (standard function for the cage). My 5 wonderful boys live on the lower level, and my 3 beautiful girls live on the upper level. I'm looking at buying the scatter guard accessory trays, but for now I'm just using the normal trays that come with the cage. While it's inconvenient to sweep up their bedding so often, it's still worth it to provide them with the extra space, and I have options to consider to help prevent this issue in the future. Pros: * The Critter Nation is SOLID. Rats are really intelligent and I always have to consider if they can escape a cage by operating whatever locking mechanism it has -- that's not a concern at all with the doors on the Critter Nation, yet they are still easy for me to open despite having tendonitis in my dominate hand. My Ferret Nation is now 10+ years old and does not have any rust on it, the door locks still work perfectly, and the cage is like new. I expect my Critter Nation will hold up just as well over time. * LOTS of room. The cage is huge and leaves plenty of room to accessorize -- the underside of the shelves even have bars on them, despite the shelves being solid, so you can hang light-weight items like hammocks or small bird toys on the underside of the shelves to entertain your pet! * The shelves have solid plastic covers. This is a huge issue for me as I once had a special needs rat that had foot injuries, wire shelves, bottoms and ramps were just not an option with him, and since then, I don't consider them an option with my other rats either. The solid shelves eliminate the potential for foot injury as there's really no way for your rat to get its feet caught in the shelf. * They make washable covers for the wire ramps -- Again, I don't like wire ramps, floors or shelves due to the potential for foot-injury with rats, but there is an option to buy ramp covers as accessories, which makes them solid and can prevent injury in the long run. I was even lucky even to receive ramp covers with my order, free of charge. The best part is that I can toss them in the washer and dryer, so I'm not scrubbing them by hand. * You can add to this cage. I bought the single unit and the add-on unit at the same time, so my cage only needs one stand. I've separated it into two cages by using the feature that allows you to lock the ramp between units in an up position against the underside of the top unit, this closes the hole and prevents pets from going up or down into the other unit. What I realized when I added my second unit onto the original is that it had the potential for even more units if I so desired. I think this is a great feature, though I'm sure I would need a step-stool to clean the third unit as it would be quite a bit taller than me at that point. * The stand has wheels. This is great when you need to relocate the cage on the same floor of a home, or if you just need to move it a bit for cleaning. The wheels have locking features for safety as well. Cons: * The doors are really big, it's sort of a pro and con all at the same time. It's easier to clean, but the size of the doors are the only thing that makes me think twice about putting Sugar Gliders in this cage -- if you have a pet that's sneaky and prone to attempt escape, and there's more than one animal in the unit, the chances of them being able to get past you are increased due to how large the doors are. * The cage is kind of expensive. This is only a con at the start, and you have the option to buy it one unit at a time. I have not found a comparable cage for a better price, however. * The cage is very heavy, but I only really noticed this when I had to move the boxes it arrived in before assembly. This is something to consider when you order it if you have to go up or down a lot of stairs -- you may be moving it a few pieces at a time before assembly. I have only moved my Ferret Nation once when I bought a home and moved out of the place I had been renting, and over all, it's not nearly as bad as moving large appliances. Ultimately, for housing rats and similar pets, I think this cage is excellent. I'd love to give my gliders the space of the Critter Nation, but I'm reluctant at this point only because of the size of the doors, the quickness of a sugar glider, and the gliders' ability to climb and fly short distances. My rats will more than get my money's worth out of this cage and I believe that for them, it was an excellent investment. The Ferret Nation is also wonderful for Ferrets and Chinchillas as I have previously housed both of those kinds of animals in my old Ferret Nation unit -- you can even buy an external ramp for it to allow your ferret or chinchilla to free-range at their leisure. I would highly recommend these cages to anyone looking to give their pets a lot of space, particularly if you know you will continue to have those kinds of animals in your life, as this cage will generally long out-last the life span of the animals it can comfortably house. It is definitely a worth-while investment. ... show more
