Big enough for two guinea pigs, easy to clean, love the divider and top
NICE cage. We’re back to having guinea pigs, two this time, and knew that with two we would need a bigger cage than our old one (from when we only had 1 guinea pig). After looking at different guinea pig housing options on You Tube and Amazon we decided to go with this larger Midwest cage and so glad we did. This cage is sold elsewhere online but Amazon had the best price.1) The cage is big enough for two guinea pigs. We have two plastic guinea pig “igloos” in this cage and there is still extra space for the pigs to run around. There is also the ability to add on by simply attaching another Midwest cage and using one of the doors as a ramp into the expanded area. An addition can be done in an “L” shape which fits nicely into the corner of a room.2) The divider with ramps is genius. The divider can be set up anywhere in the cage – Midwest recommends sectioning off 1/3 of the cage to use as a “kitchen” area. The benefit is being able to keep food and hay in one area, and because the divider has material at the bottom the hay and food stays in the feeding area and not tracked all throughout the cage. This is a HUGE plus because guinea pigs require a lot of hay and let’s face it, hay is messy.The divider can also be used to completely block off a section of the cage. The ramps double as a lockable door.3) Easy set up. One person can set this cage up. Basically the outer wire walls are set on top of the flexible canvas-type bottom and the bottom is attached to the cage with velcro straps. This Plus Habitat has a wire lid that attaches with clips. Ends of the lid can be opened up to allow access to the cage and the whole lid can be detached as well.4) This cage is surprisingly sturdy! Keep in mind that it can’t easily be moved – where it’s set up is where it will be. The bottom is soft. It’s strong, like canvas, but it’s soft.5) Easy to clean! OK, a cage this big seems like it would be obnoxious to clean. Hardly. The trick here is *NOT* using bagged shavings or the fluffy traditional bedding material. This cage works BEST with fleece bedding. We use what a lot of others do: first lay down a thick layer of newspaper, then put an old towel on top, then the top layer is fleece material. (The towel keeps the newspaper from sticking to the fleece). Fleece is cheap – anywhere from $3.00 – $11.00/yard depending on patterns – and a yard of fleece works perfectly for this cage. There’s plenty of info online, especially You Tube, showing how to use fleece bedding for guinea pigs.Basically it works like this – the guinea pig pee moves right through the fleece and is absorbed by the towel and newspapers. The fleece stays dry. This is also odor free. When it’s time to clean up the newspaper gets tossed out, and the towel and fleece get a good shaking out and then thrown in the washer to clean. We spray the cage bottom with vinegar and water, wipe it clean, and set up the fleece system again. Super easy, super fast. And so much cheaper than buying bedding all the time. Some folks use disposable bed liners instead of newspaper – and even with those it’s cheaper than buying bagged bedding.Their poop does need to be cleaned out daily (who knew such small creatures could produce so much poop) – we got a small dust pan and brush at the dollar store and just sweep the dried waste into the dust pan. No big deal.6) This is a guinea pig only habitat. Any smaller critter will easily escape.7) One of our guinea pigs did start gnawing on one of the velcro straps on the divider. Once we added more chew treats/toys this stopped. Something to keep an eye on.Overall, very glad we bought this cage! Would highly recommend this habitat.

Great size and Well Built at half the Price
When we bought our guinea pig we also purchased a standard cage. After the food dishes and her igloo went into the cage there was no room for her to walk around more less play. I went hunting for a better home and found this cage. I was wary because there were some reviews about being difficult to set up and some claiming a badly made cage. It was also half the cost of others (and half the size) After reading the good reviews and feeling like size mattered(hehe) I went ahead and gave it a try. Not only am I glad I did but the guinea pig is too. There is so much room and it is sturdy even if you decide to take out the center bar which I have done. It does shake a little easier without it, but by no means is it unstable. I ended up buying another as we thought our first needed a friend. I guess she was to old to welcome company into her home (she was abused and the shelter kept her alone as she was not very sociable, she is now lol). The second cage is just as good as the first. A good thing too as GP #2 ended up being pregnant! She only had one which is also female so they fit perfectly fine together in the same cage, even with 2 igloos the dishes a potty box and toys. I do recommend using puppy house training pads under whatever you use for their base. The canvas is easy to clean though drying time is a little long. I found the pads keep the canvas clean as one GP likes to pull up the bedding instead of always using the potty box. Assembly is simple and besides attaching the Velcro strips (there are quite a few) on the canvas to the bars there is nothing difficult about putting it together. I wrote this review almost a year after purchase so there would be time for the normal wear of it and an informed opinion. It is just as sturdy as it was when we bought them the canvas is still in excellent shape even though I didn’t think of the pads till several months ago. Either way the canvas is still washed weekly as a precaution even though the pads work great. I definitely recommend this cage for your little furry pet as it is well worth it’s low cost and is a great sturdy,large home that they will love!

Loved the size. Fits perfectly for my 2 piggies.As other reviewers said, the canvas itself is an issue as the piggies have started staining them and chewing off them although i usually had a fleece and pee pads. Especially worse so on the ramp sides, likely one day the canvas on the ramp may be entirely eaten up by them lol.Aside, liked that it is open top, spacious and generally easy to build and maintain. Material seems to be durable as well. Hopefully it does not rust as easy. A little tad expensive though compared to other diy c&c cages.

Definitivamente es la mejor jaula para tus mascotas, en mi caso, cuyos. Es fácil de limpiar*, tiene muy buena altura, es amplia y las rejillas permiten sostener más aditamentos (depósitos para heno, bebederos, etc…)Las ventajas que yo veo:- Tiene buena altura, y evita que las mascotas salten por encima, de igual manera, incluye una tapa.- El piso es de lona, lo que ayuda bastante a la limpieza y no guarda malos olores.- Tiene una división para la mascota, de un lado juegos y comida, y del otro lado su camita.- Es de buen tamaño, y puede albergar mas de una mascota.- La relación calidad-precio es excelente.Las desventajas:- *Se fija a las rejas por velcro, por lo tanto, las mascotas tienden a morderlo, y a la hora de la limpieza es bastante tardado quitar todos los velcros.- Las uniones de las rejas tienden a abrirse (pero basta con unirlas y apretarlas con unas pinzas).- Mis mascotas tienden a morder las rejas y la pintura se desprende (Ya les juguetes para que desgasten sus dientes).Definitivamente, la mejor compra que he hecho para mis mascotas. Llego antes de la fecha y debidamente empacada.

I loved how the divided was movable to I have an area for food only and then play, I have to males and its just enough space for the two of them. It was super easy to put together and cleaning was no problem either. I will say putting down a layer of plastic or some sort of covering would be good over the canvas so it doesnt stain. the folding roof works great for ease of access and adaptability. I will say its not super sturdy but strong enough im not worried about an escape and its enough to keep our kitten out if he snuck down to the piggies. 10/10 worked great for me.

This is the best cage ever! A very reasonable price also. I have no idea why I didn’t get one of these from the get go of owning guinea pigs. My piggies are so much more happier now, and there is so much more room for accessories and toys. I love that the cage is expandable also so you can add on if you want more guinea pigs. It is so much easier for me to keep clean making my darlings so much more happier. I line the cage with puppy pee pads and then the pink blanket on top. All i have to do in a full cage clean is wipe down the green liner. Replace pee pads and change the blanket. I already clean up poops twice a day. And full clean weekly. So much easier than having to take a whole bottom of a cage apart and emptying somewhere else. But nothing leaks onto the green liner anyway.There is another amazon review on here that someone mentions the cage is flimsy. That is NOT the case. The cage basically comes assembled already, you just have to attach one corner and then put the lining on the bottom which is done with velcro straps on edges. And then the lid onto the top. There are metal clips to keep the top on.)My blankets on top are only there as nights have been cold. It comes off during the day time. I recommend this cage highly. You can also purchase a replacement liner (green part) separate But i don’t think i will have to in a long time.My first pic I is the whole cage, the second pic is the clips that go all the way around the top, the third pic is the Velcro straps that the green liner is attached to the cage with, and the Fourth pic is the opening of which you can expand your cage or you can open it if you let your piggies run freely.

Si monta e smonta in poco tempo, sembra durevole.Di dimensioni adatte per due cavie peruviane, sarebbe utile poter avere in abbinamento un altro fondo.
