    • Not perfect, but very good
Style: Single Story Pattern Name: Cage
Review Image by Todd F
I bought the Critter Nation Model 161 (single story) for a single adult rat. I now have two rats and they have plenty of room. FYI, I bought the Model 161 because I wanted to balance flexibility against total cost. I figured the Model 161 would be big enough for my critters, so I elected to pass on the more expensive two-story cage (Model 162). if I later discover I need more room, I can always buy the add-on (Model 163) at that time. That said, on the most recent Prime Day, the two-story cage (Model 162) was on sale for the same amount as the usual price for the Model 161. That’s something to keep in mind if you can afford to wait for the next Prime Day. I’m very happy with the cage. The size, full-size doors and sturdiness are great. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cage for rats. As others have noted, having a helper when you assemble this cage will make the assembly much easier. I assembled mine outdoors (without a helper, took me 4 hours) and then wheeled it into the house. There are two main reasons I’m withholding one star: (1) The fit and finish is not what I would expect for this price. Specifically, some of the components are misaligned, even on components that were assembled by the manufacturer. (In the attached photo, see the seam between the top and the door frame, and the alignment of the two doors within the door frame.) In my case, the deviations from "true” are 1/8” (3 mm) or less. None of these deviations make the cage escapable for my critters, and they don’t prevent the doors or other features from fitting together or working as intended, but they’re still disappointing. Some other reviewers reported more significant deviations that required bending by the end user or prevented the doors from operating correctly. This is one of the reasons it took me several months to talk myself into buying this cage. (2) When I give the cage a thorough cleaning, I use a scrubbing pad and liberal amounts of soapy water. I do not douse the cage with a hose. Even so, the interiors of some of the frame members are showing rust. I understand that there’s not an easy way to powder-coat the interior of the square tubes that make up the frame. Still, it would have been nice had the manufacturer electrocoated the interiors with zinc or some other rust inhibitor. Since the tubes are closed at the ends, if water gets into the tubes, like in the holes at the bottom frame that the bolts from the doors insert into, there’s no easy way for the water to get out, so rust is inevitable. I’m sure the cage will outlive my pets, but this is still a disappointment. ... show more

    • Very customizable and easy to clean
Style: Two Story Pattern Name: Cage
Would strongly recommend buying 8" deep concrete plastic mixing tray 36" by 24" locally and trimming edges slightly to fit for bottom portion. This allows mess to stay (mostly) in cage and still let pets dig and bury food in deep shavings. This made huge difference in cleanliness and as doors open 100% this allows large litter boxes and cage accessories to be added/removed without turning sideways and creating huge mess. Squirrel has not chewed any trays as they are covered, and cage with add-on allows huge branches from outside to be added to cage. Swapping out big items like these as they are chewed up is easy with the doors opening fully. Anything messy on horizontal shelves used can slip through bars, but very easy to purchase/make acrylic edgers to fit around shelves used. Or go cheap and use cardboard, but you will have to replace often. Overall very happy with this cage. Bought to replace similar cage from other company that doors were only centered down middle of cage and didn't allow easy access. This cage is designed for rodents and exotics pets with climbing areas while most others seem better suited for birds. ... show more

    • Critter Nation & Ferret Nation -- The Best Animal Habitats You Will Ever Own
Style: Add On Pattern Name: Cage
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 proceeded to do more research about it 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 very 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. The solid shelves eliminate the potential for foot injury as there's really no way for your rat (or other pet) to get its feet caught in the shelf. * They make washable covers for the wire ramps -- 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 from WayFair through Amazon, 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-on 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. I had to slide them around on my floor because I could not lift them by myself. 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 while it was fully assembled, and over all, it's not nearly as bad as moving large appliances. Ultimately, for housing rats and similar pets, I think this habitat 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. The fact that I have other cages with wire walls that are less than 5 years old but experiencing rust issues speaks volumes, as my 10+ year old Ferret Nation doesn't have a single speck of rust on it, and buying two smaller cages (Super Pets or All Living Things, for example) will cost nearly as much as a Ferret or Critter Nation... but it won't hold up as well over time, and it won't offer your pet as much space. The Critter Nation and Ferret Nation are definitely worth-while investments. ... show more
