I bought this a little over a month ago and I deeply regret it. Every time I go to change the bedding or try to move it, it breaks. The instructions to set it up are NOT clear. It is very flimsy and non-durable. It is way too much room for only 2 guinea pigs. The hideaway is the dumbest thing ever. If you go to get your pigs out, you can’t if they’re in the hideaway. There is no way that you can reach a whole arm in there. Plus, if you need to take off the top of the hideaway, you have to disconnect it from the cage and remove the whole thing. If there were a rating for 0 stars, I would give that. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

Bought today, taking back tomorrow. Biggest piece of garbage I’ve ever tried to put together. Don’t waste time or money. Honestly I wouldn’t take it for free.
Lisser (verified owner) –
If I could give this no stars I would. The cage falls apart and is not easy to open or clean on a daily basis. Don’t waste your money. We used ours a total of 2 weeks before we couldn’t take it and bought another cage. I would not recommend.

I got this cage last night for my guinea pig and it genuinely sucks so much. It seems like the floor is too big for the sides so we had to duct tape the sides of it. Please don’t buy and the hidey part will fall apart if you look at it for too long.
Love My Guinea Pigs (verified owner) –
This cage was similar in size to the 2 grid by 3 grid C&C cage so I took a chance for my guinea pigs. It took a long time to put together, but wasn’t difficult (just tedious). After a couple of days I ended up taking the hideaway completely away because I couldn’t reach my new piggies…plus, it looked like it would be impossible to clean. I like an open cage, so I did not add the ramp (plus, not really the safest for guinea pigs). They hay feeder was terrible so I tossed that. Now I’m just using the cage with no top. I put it on a table so I wasn’t bending over so much, but the cage is so high I’m having trouble reaching in. I really wish these companies would do more research with actual guinea pig owners before making these cages. Also, why doesn’t Full Cheeks sell fleece liners that fit this cage?
amandab2023 (verified owner) –
This cage is the most cheesy cage I have ever seen, the urine just runs right through the bottom even with bedding! TERRIBLE!!!!
VetTechJen (verified owner) –
This cage is a complete waste of money. Instructions to put the thing together aren’t good. It took me two hours and doesn’t feel very sturdy. The floor is thin and flimsy. This cage only has one TINY door on the bottom side (made of something that looks and feels like plastic cardboard), so it’s impossible to reach into the “hide” and get your Guinea pig out if it’s in there. You have to disassemble part of it in order to do anything. I’ve just left the middle section of the top off of the cage because it’s the only way to feed and handle your pet. Just bought this last night and I wish I hadn’t.
Martimar94 (verified owner) –
This cage is not worth the price you pay! Its super flimsy and doesnt stay together whatsoever. The instructions are very unclear on how it needs to be put together and the materials feel like cheap quality. The flooring is plastic so you would definitely be able to hear when your guinea pig(s) are running their zoomies out. I wish i had read reviews before purchasing it, but thankfully i still have the box
Super bowl 59 pet 132 (verified owner) –
It took us 20 minutes to even get halfway through it and we weren’t even on the second level. plastic is bent and probably will collapse right when you pick it up A guinea pig habitat I don’t think so more of a tarantula habitat or you could say a big fat plastic Cookie Monster so I would recommend you not buying this
Dipperandmabelsdad (verified owner) –
Much like the other 4/5 star review, im surprised that this had such bad reviews, and honestly prefer this that I got as a temporary cage over the $300 cage I got. Yes, it’s quite difficult to assemble, I got frustrated with it many times, but if you take your time with it it’s worth it. I like the plastic walls for the floor part so it can hold more bedding than a typical cage, and the hide is very spacious. I will say it’s a bit difficult to clean, but still an amazing cage for the price. Will def be buy the expansions.

Cheap plastic that creates a poorly unstable cage that does not clap together. If you get it together, don’t move. It will fall apart the minute you move/lift. Pieces on bottom do not hold pee on. Would have returned but tore box up.

I bought this yesterday and i do not like it. The bottom keeps coming around and the access into it is just horrible

We got this cage for 2 Guinea pigs and size-wise it’s great! I love that the 2nd floor above the hideout gives them an additional area to go and keeps their food and water separate from their sleep and play area below. The downside would be the challenge in putting in together. Everything else has been pretty good!
Nunnya (verified owner) –
The bottom falls out. Poor quality. Child hurt her fingers on the cage opening while trying to get out her new pet out
Michelle87 (verified owner) –
Decent cage overall. Would rather the bottom of the cage and walls be a little more secure, the base is pretty flimsy but it does its job
Jenn181 (verified owner) –
Bought this a month ago, very very hard to assemble, took us hours to figure it out. And if you’re not handy with tools, you’ll have hard time doing it just like us
emeraldstarr1 (verified owner) –
I was talked into buying a larger cage by a petsupplycanada employee (plus another guinea pig) and really wish I hadn’t. This cage is so hard to assemble (and I had to look up a video) for multiple reasons: 1. It has a million pieces, 2. trying to align said pieces without making other pieces pop out is very challenging, 3. even if you somehow manage, it still takes a long time (me, probably 3 hours.) Also, good luck trying to lift the cage without things coming undone.

Jenn5555 (verified owner) –
I own a hedgehog. She loves it so far. The second level is more than sturdy enough for her. It is definitely hard to move and not exactly fun to clean. Putting it together was a mess took me and my Roomate 3 hours. But I like the customizability of it. And the space!
ffemt (verified owner) –
I bought this last month to separate my male guinea pigs from the females. It was difficult to put together and now the sides of the base are coming apart. Very poor quality. If I still had the box, I would return it. My guinea pigs won’t use the ramp to the top for extra space, it’s a waste.
Pchiz (verified owner) –
My 12 year old had this put together in about 30 minutes. It’s so much bigger than we expected. We will eventually want something bigger, so we’ll buy a 2nd to expand it, but that’s out of preference later, not necessity. We ordered mats for the bottom rather than using loose bedding. It’s a perfect set up!
Shelly213 (verified owner) –
This cage us just terrible! I like the concept of being able to shape it the way we wanted BUT its a pain to put together and keep together. Its so flimsy and the walls come apart and the floor mats don’t stay in place!
Piggieparent (verified owner) –
Extremely difficult to put together and won’t stay together. Nearly impossible to clean if you use bedding, so it attracts gnats.
NewPiggieMom (verified owner) –
We are new Guinea Pig parents and bought this thinking the two stories would be fun for our new piggies. We brought our new piggies home, excited to set up their habitat. An hour later, the cage was not quite assembled and I was stressing because the poor babies were still in their carry-home box. Total set up time was over 1.5hrs (we put the piggies inside before it was fully constructed, but only after it was safe to do so. I couldn’t stand them being in that little carry box.

My 12 yr old son and I put together in 30 min , wasn’t hard for us . But cleaning it is tough . When you lift it , it is instable . We put on ply lard for ease of moving in and out of house to clean . Wish you could remove floor easily to clean – instead we have to take apart cage to scrub floor once a week

It’s absolutely comical that anyone anywhere is allowed to sell this cage. It’s cheaply made, flimsy, and absolutely impossible to put together. If you want a cage that works don’t buy this piece of garbage.

If I could give this a -0 I would. This product is so hard to put together and when you finally have a part together it automatically comes undone.I would never recommend this product.
Insanemomma (verified owner) –
Hindsight is 20/20 with this cage for sure. Once it’s put together, it’s large enough for 4+ guinea pigs! The video is misleading as it took 1 teenager and 2 adults to put it together! We liked the look and the extras that came with it but the shear size is off-putting. We had to set it on a coffee table and it’s still too big!! Will be taking it apart and taking it back to petsupplycanada this weekend and get a much smaller cage/habitat for our single GP!

I’m really good at putting things together but this thing is garbage. Worst guy ever. Listen to the other comments.
THsmallanimalowner (verified owner) –
I bought this for my guinea pig. It took about 2 hours to put together. I’m not impressed by the quality or the sturdiness. My pig is older so I didn’t not install the ramp. The cage does provide enough space for my pig.
Rambler33 (verified owner) –
Bought it because it was the only one in stock. Should have checked the reviews first. Nothing clicks or secures together in anything resembling stability. Very difficult to assemble, and not stable at all once you do. Many cheaper and better options elsewhere.
newguineaowner (verified owner) –
I bought this 3 months ago, at first it was amazing but now it is falling apart. The floor panels are falling apart causing poop and pee to spill all over my floor. Not to mention it is so hard to clean the little room. I feel bad for replacing this cage because it is HUGE my guinea pig loves it but it is falling apart at the seems.
Pittiesandkitties86 (verified owner) –
This cage was a monster to assemble and is only suitable for one piggie. Which if you have them, you know they need to be in at least pairs. We got the extension for it and it’s enough space but the cage is hard to fully sanitize and is frustrating to maneuver altogether. Had I had a say in cage purchases, I wouldn’t have gotten this one. 2 stars because it’s still in decent enough shape to gift now that we rehomed our piggies. The hideout makes it hard to clean as well…
AngieTav (verified owner) –
The bottom has zero support so it cannot be moved without falling apart. The ramp is too flexible and scares the Guinea pig when she tries to use it. I would not buy this again.
Deniseguineapiglover (verified owner) –
Unfortunately once the cage is assembled it is not stable enough to clean or move without pieces coming loose. We ended up throwing it out when we tried to move it in it’s place on a table and it came apart with all the substrate falling out all over as the base is not secure enough to hold the pieces in places. We were going to return it but is was such a mess we decided to just toss it it and eat the loss.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it in december and hardest thing i built and it broke apart when i was cleaning
Piggedies (verified owner) –
First of all, anyone who says this is impossible to build or falls apart either isn’t following the instructions right or is missing parts. I bought this cage with my first two guinea pigs after it was recommended to me by a knowledgeable petsupplycanada employee. Me and my mom built it in roughly 30 minutes or so. I knew very little about guinea pigs when I got my first two and have learned a lot during the time I’ve had them. This cage is one of the only ones you’ll ever find in a pet store that’s an appropriate size for 1-2 piggies. It was easy to add a section on the cage when I got my 3rd piggy, who was pregnant when I got her from my friend. Our herd of 3 quickly turned into a herd of 5, and long story short, we now have 6 piggies and they have their own room. I’ve added a total of 3 sections onto this cage, so I can’t complain. The only complaint is that the quality of where the pieces join together could be a little better, but it’s not bad quality overall.
MsRiley (verified owner) –
Bought this to use on weekends for my classroom Pet, Doug the guinea pig. After two hours of building, my father, who worked construction for 25 years had to reinforce with extra screws, and it still fell apart anytime we tried to move it. There is no way to access the guinea pig or animal, without taking off part of the top. Overall unsafe and very very poorly designed

The cage is a pain.. it comes apart constantly, even with zip ties the bottom comes apart. Pee leaks thru- ruining our floor! The sides are very high making it difficult for guinea pigs to reach their water. Do not recommend!
Pinkdiamonds898 (verified owner) –
Bought this cage yesterday and we were able to assemble it. However, very cheaply made and the structure of the cage is not logical. After fully assembling it and setting it up, we moved it and the whole thing fell apart. Completely began to disassemble. Also, not sure what small animal is being put in this thing that would not chew through the bottom pieces or the plastic cardboard door thing. I wish I would had read the reviews before buying in store.

Me and my mom bought this cage in store last week, not even a week in and its literally falling apart, not to mention how difficult it was to put together. The material is cheap, and it falls apart very easy.
KS88 (verified owner) –
I bought this when I got my baby girl but I wish I had planned ahead and bought elsewhere. The ramp is unusable, very flimsy and falls off when she tries to use it. The cover for the loft area is awkward and hard to move around when trying to clean or pick up piggies. I’d recommend building a C&C cage, it’ll be bigger, better and cheaper.
Madmom05 (verified owner) –
This is the worse cage. I have ever seen. It will not stay together took two hours of fighting with this cage finally I boxed it back up and will return tomorrow. petsupplycanada should be ashamed selling such junk. I will never buy another cage from petsupplycanada. The floor will not stay together slides and the sides are made of cheap plastic. Very disappointed.
Steph0225 (verified owner) –
This habitat/cage is absolutely useless. It fell apart so easy! The pieces didnt do what they are supposed to do. Its totally a rip off for the money. Theres cheaper and better options. The little hide away space beneath the ramp and food dish in picture collapse ontop of my pets because the clips that hold it up popped off. The bottom of the cage comes in three pieces that are difficult to slide together and keep together which leaves gaps where your animal can pee and go right onto carpet where the cage is set up. In my case it was my carpet and I did not even notice for a week now my carpet in that spot is trashed. The sides are connected by these pieces that are x shaped so if one slat comes off the x piece you have to take everything out take animals out and rebuild the whole cage again because of how the x pieces have to be. If you hang hammocks for animals that love to use them the roof bends inward causing it to pretty much look like the roof slat bars are going to collapse. Its really a death trap for your loved animals. I am not a mean person writing horrible reviews everywhere for no reason. I was happy when I bought this cage thinking it was going to be awesome and it was a nightmare for me, my family and pets. Due to all of these problems I had to duct tape a lot of it together until I got a better setup just so my pets didnt escape out of it!! If I could give no stars I would.
Addy125 (verified owner) –
I have literally had this for a single week and it has come apart at 3 different corners. Absolutely terrible design and such a waste of my money! Of course since it’s used I can’t return it but have never been so disappointed in anything I have purchased. For almost $100 this was absolutely terrible.
Sarahs01 (verified owner) –
I bought this cage it is not simple to put together and takes a lot of time, parts require two people in order for the floor to stay in place. It is not stable when moved either. Comes with screws that need to go through the plastic which are nearly impossible to do by hand.

We bought this Guinea cage today to put our pregnant female in to have her babies in peace. It’s absolutely a piece of junk. The directions are all backwards. The products are cheap plastic. It comes with “self-tapping” screws but they are junk too and most definitely not self-tapping screws. If we didn’t need this cage like asap I would return it because it’s trash.

I do not recommend. Flooring disconnects easily with slight shift adjustment in a corner against a wall. The hideout top collapse in easily as well with a few happy flips from my Guinea pig. I dislike, not very stable item at all!

Took over 3 hours to put it together. When it’s time to clean you can not pick it up and move it without the bottom falling out. While it’s a great space for them it is very complicated on cleanliness and it falls apart easily. Not a recommendation unless you plan on disassembling and reassembling each time you clean.

I bought this when i got my 3 piggie babys and it was difficult to put together, and flimsy. The pee leaks out of it and will ruin any stand or wall that it drips on the attachments dont attach well and its not as customizable as it appears. Skip thais and build a CnC cage its less of a hassle and if youve built CnC you know those are a hassle on there own.

I bought this cage yesterday. It took us over 3 hours to put it together. We’d attach one piece and then go to attach the next and the first one would fall off. The instructions are NOT clear. It has so many tiny pieces that takes forever to figure out what’s what and where it goes. I had my piggy in his travel cage this entire time and I feel like he’s depressed now. It’s ridiculous that we spent $99 on this crappy cage.
DO NOT BUY THIS CAGE!
The Midwest cage was way better that I had for him before.

Do do not purchase this cage it falls apart very easily and it’s very poorly made my guinea pig chewed it up the first week I bought it so the top second half does not fit because the guinea pig was chewing on all of the plastic definitely a waste of money and time trying to put back together every week when it falls apart.

This cage sucks. The distributor are lazy. The floor has a long crack which can easily spread on your floor. Like really there is nothing supporting that part of the crate. Also this crate isn’t worth the price it advertising. I mean this crate has nothing but weak plastic rod. Bottom line go with a different brand. I can see why this crate and maybe other products have such a low rating.
Jessicas pigs (verified owner) –
When you put it together it’s base is plastic and in multiple pieces. The base falls apart so easy and to keep it together we had to use super glue. It also has little holes on the bottom so their feces goes onto your floor or table. It’s also complicated and difficult to put together.

I got this cage a few days ago and I immediately returned it. Its the store’s cheapest/most affordable cage for guinea pigs so I unfortunately went for it. But this is a great example of quality vs quantity. This is just the cheapest animal cage I have ever had the displeasure of purchasing. Its terrible quality, so hard to put together, so time consuming, once you put it together you basically cant move it with out it falling apart, its terrible to clean, you need a vacuum or dust pan to clean, AND there are no doors to get to your animal or clean the cage or even change food. Its possible to remove the top by undoing the clips that keep the roof of the cage in tact, so you MUST do that every single time you need to do anything in the cage. It was technically the cheapest cage they had but it still costed over $100 with sales tax for such a terrible cage. There is also a built-in hide that the guineapigs use, once they are in there there isn’t a n easy way to get them out. Terrible cage. DO NOT BUY THIS CAGE.

I bought this cage after adopting a guinea pig for my classroom. After 2+ hours of trying my best to put it together, I gave up. The manual don’t give detail instructions how to assembly. There is a video on how to put it together. But does someone truly need to watch a video to put together a cage? It shouldn’t take this long to assemble a cage. I wish I would have never purchased it. I could have saved my time and frustration putting it together.

Bought this cage several months ago it is the biggest piece of junk. I have ever seen you barely touch it and it calls completely apart. It’s impossible to open the Hideaway in it and get the animals out without carrying the cage half apart if you try to move the cage, clean around the entire thing falls apart.

We bought this less than 2 weeks ago. It took hours to put together and is incredibly flimsy. After less than two weeks of use, multiple of the locking mechanisms have already broken and the top panels routinely come apart. I would not recommend this at all, and am going to need to buy a new enclosure.
Dawn (verified owner) –
We bought this cage 3 days ago. The only plus side is it’s size. It’s larger than it looks on the box. It took 3 hours to put together. Instructions are somewhat vague and the accessibility of it is terrible. We try to take our guinea pig out and have to nearly take the whole thing apart to get to her. The water bottle holder doesn’t hold the water bottle up once it’s been filled with water and the hay holder had to be cut so it would fit right on the cage.
Yakuzacatlover9 (verified owner) –
I see bad reviews but if you have patience to get it together correctly it is really a nice cage nice and spacious and expandable. You will need to buy a better water bottle it slips out of holder and the hay trough is not very good just switch those two out and you’ll be good follow instructions carefully . I like this cage alot just wish it had a side door but it is still better cage for your pig or rabbit id say its too be and wide bars for hamster

I thought this was an easy clean but no. Assembly was something else. Almost gave up. Cheesy parts and the self tapping screws were missing. Not an enjoyable experience and definitely not recommended.
Jess0824 (verified owner) –
I bought this cage about five months ago. It was decently price and looked roomy. I agree with the other comments that it was very hard to put together. Often get one side together and it would fall apart but eventually we got it! I would also agree with another writer who wrote that the water bottle is very cheap and low quality. The water bottle literally leaked everywhere. We just put a plate under it until we got a free standing water bottle to replace it. Another thing I don’t like is the hay basket. My guinea pigs often hit it on the side, and the hay falls out the bottom. Most disappointing to me was that I got the cage under the impression that there were attachment pieces that I could buy as it had said it on the box. However, when we went to get our second guinea pig, I wanted to purchase the additional attachments so they had plenty of room and that is when I had learned that those attachment pieces had been discontinued. Pros: Large space
that allows for lots of movement and toys. My little pigs seem very happy in there. It’s relatively easy to clean. However, if I could make a suggestion to the makers, I would suggest to forgo the water bottle and the hay basket and instead include a removable/ reusable easy to wash liner as that would be more effective with this cage than the other accessories. And to bring back additional attachments that can be added to the cage to create a larger space.

It’s a big cage but I spent over an hour just trying to figure out the floor and side panels only to find out it came with missing pieces. It is horribly flimsy and doesn’t feel safe at all. Spend the extra money and get something different. Highly disappointed
Lauralea2 (verified owner) –
Love this cage and the extra extension kit we bought. It was difficult at first to put this cage together, but once we understood you have snap the pieces in place, the assembly was fairly easy and much more sturdy once everything was snapped firmly in place. If the pieces aren’t firmly snapped in place, the cage will appear flimsy and fall apart. We found assembly went better with 2 people.

Bought this a little over a month ago. This cage is very difficult to put together even with watching the video on it. Little did I know I’d be buying a new cage due to this one falling about in attempt of cleaning it. Very poor design and very disappointing. Especially after a pet smart employee recommended it.

Very hard to put together, doesn’t stay together and it’s falling apart as well as shavings falling through cracks and we have only had it for a month. The ladder always falls off as does the water bottle.

this cage is hard to put together and when you do, it falls apart even if you follow the directions. Cleaning the cage, the parts fall of. space wise, the dish size and the size of the water bottle it is great. I do not recommend this cage.

I’m honestly astounded that this sort of product even made it past Quality Control (if there is any). The ‘video’ showing you how to set the cage up is complete nonsense because NONE of the pieces fit together as easily as they do in the video. It’s a ridiculous hassle that had my new guinea pigs waiting for hours until i just decided they’d be better (and safer) in a different, more normal cage.

I bought Full Cheeks|TM| Customizable Small Pet Habitat – Includes Cage, Hideaway, Hay Feeder, Bowl, & Bottle and finally have it together. It is flimsy plastic and wire. It falls apart when being moved and for the cost almost $100 I thought it would have been sturdy cage. Disappointed to say the least

I returned it. Horrible instructions, nightmare to put together and once you put it together it won’t stay together unless you want to figure out how to screw all the pieces to one another. Top falls into the cage if you bump it. Do not buy. It’s not worth $100+ dollars.

I purchased the cage as I have two guinea pigs and the cage I had was not big enough for them. I am constantly trying to put it back together because the pieces keep separating. The shelf that covers the enclosure constantly caves in. Very difficult to clean.

This is the worst ever! First, the bottom is in panels and not one piece, so if you try to move the cage to clean, it comes apart. Secondly, the side panels are held together with a plastic X-shaped piece that the side panels keep coming out of or have gaps long the sides. Next, each corner, and bottom of each of connecting side panels, had gaps so bedding and Guinea pig poop would fall out. Lastly, as if I had already listed enough, the water bottle leaked and had to be replaced within three months. Do NOT buy!

I read the other reviews and all I can say is that you guys don’t know how to follow instructions, I assemble it in 30 minutes and that’s too long just because I made a mistake. Material is not cheap of course it’s not titanium right! But it’s worth the price! Stop crying and admit you can’t build it!
I would like to see the expansion options.

I purchased 2 of this cage on October 27th, in hopes that my guinea pigs (Tesla and Teddy, who were fighting and have to be separated immediately) would each have a large cage all to themselves to avoid territorial activities. However, I have been trying to put the cage together, and every time you try to do so, the cage either completely falls apart, or the parts simply don’t fit. We spent two hours trying to create holes for the screws (had to find screwdrivers tiny enough for those screws), and of course, when you screw the wall to the base of the cage, it literally flops over — that’s how flimsy it is. It could’ve at least came with holes in the bottom of the walls so that consumers don’t spend thirty minutes trying to dig a little hole for a screw that’s too tiny for any screwdriver to get a grip on.

When I purchased this product, we spent many many hours trying to put it together. The directions was not clear as far as the screws. Once you completed it and picked it up., it’s was so flimsy the bottom one fell out. We had to go put this together three different times

If I could give this crate 0 stars, I would. It’s not even worth zero stars. -5 is more like it. Absolutely impossible to put together. Clearly the people that came up with the design was high.

I bought this cage put it together and kept it for about a week. You have to attach all the pieces together so it’s not a solid base or sides. My guinea pigs have always peed in a corner and therefore the urine ended up on my carpet. It’s also difficult to clean and get your pet out of the cage. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Bought this a week ago and unfortunately, it is terrible. There is no small opening to get my Guinea out unless I take some of it apart. Which was doable. However, this cage is so unstable. The bottom part is in 3’s but does not secure all the way. So it leaks through and not able to rise it to put it on a table. So my Guinea pig had to be on the cold floor. The extra materials- hay holder is cheap material. And the water bottle leaks the whole time. Unfortunately, we knew to get a new one from another store as we were putting this one together. After spending $100 on it. We were very bummed.
DBMoreno (verified owner) –
Ok, this cage is not the best but it’s definitely not the worst. Instructions to build it can be quite annoying. I had to take it apart a few times to actually understand how to do it so it’s very much not user friendly. Hay feeder, water bottle, stairs are all cheap. Only comes with one door which is made out of cardboard.

I bought this cage yesterday. I do not recommend. It is eextremelydiificult and time consuming to put together. It is cheap quality materials. The food and excrement goes in through the side of the cage in the holes. If the critter urinates on the top part or the bottom part of the cage, it seeps through the floor division and you end of mopping urine all around the cage on your floor. It’s hard to move because it falls apart. The hay federico does not fit right and the critter made a mess. It was all over the floor. I do not recommend.

Aside from this cage taking forever to put together, the quality is terrible!!! It’s sooo cheaply made! For something that costs $100 and takes a decent amount of time to assemble, the quality should be 10x better than what it is. It’s All flimsy plastic aside from the metal grates. It fell apart so many times while trying to put together!! For a cage this big, it shouldn’t be as flimsy as it is!! HORRIBLE! Please look elsewhere and save your time and money and do NOT purchase this piece of garbage.

I’d give it 2.5/5 stars. It was very difficult to put together. I’ve had this for 3 years and am thinking of adding on to it, which is a benefit of this cage. It’s kind of spacious, but my two male guineas still fight a bit (probably not enough space). I had to not follow the instructions for the hide-a-way. It suggests to secure the floor down, but then makes it a struggle to open it up when time to clean or if you need to get them. I just have the floor (shown in photo) sitting on top and I can easily take it off. The ramp provided is also too narrow-i had to buy a better one. Lastly, I manage the leakage by putting down two puppy pads underneath. As long as I don’t try to move it, it’s fine.

It’s junk, overly complicated junk. It’s a gigantic pain to put together, even while watching the YouTube video on how to, and pausing a 100times. You finally after 3 and a half hours putting it together. Then the best part it doesn’t like to stay together. Even with felt liners regularly cleaned it still leaks. It’s not worth $30 let alone $99.

These kennels look so nice and like a C&C cage (and the closest to one petsupplycanada sells). However, they are not large enough for 2 female guinea pigs (which require less space than males, and they MUST be kept in pairs), and they leak urine. The floor is not stable, so can and will pinch little toes, and urine leaks everywhere. Additionally, cleaning the box portion is next to impossible because the access points aren’t large enough. Great concept, but you’d be better going to KAVEE and ordering a C&C cage that is the appropriate size, and has a sturdier base with no urine leakage.

We got a guinea pig from a friend and then drove out to petsupplycanada to buy a cage. This was the only cage they had left, so we bought it knowing nothing about it. Took 2 adults over 2 hours to piece this thing together. It is so flimsy. We built it on the floor and assumed we can lift it up to move somewhere, but when we tried to lift it, the cage started coming apart. It was getting late in the evening, we just left the cage in the middle of our living room. Our guinea pig likes to pee and poop in the corners. There are gaps in the corners, so the pee wets the poop, and we’ve got brown streaks leaking out the corners. It is so disgusting. There’s no way to secure the ramp to the upstairs, so if something startles my guinea pig and he bumps it, the ramp falls off. Then we got another guinea pig friend. I put the fresh veggie tray on top of the big hiding area (the hay and pallets are still on the ground level). The ceiling is so flimsy that it’s warped by the weight of 2 piggies and a tray of veggies. Overall, this is a piece of junk and $99 is way too much. I’m including three photos with this review. We managed to move the cage after sliding a piece of plywood underneath and lifting it up. I think every corner came apart during the move. I put disposable pee pads under the corners to catch the overflow. And a photo of one of my boys eating on the top level. I’ve tried flipping that ceiling all sorts of orientation, there’s no one way that’s more secure than another. DON’T BUY THIS. In a pinch, use an open top laundry basket (like we did when we had to take them for a ride) and then get another cage besides this. Oh, and the water bottle came broken.

WORST product I’ve ever experienced. This is a cheap piece of junk. It is an absolute nightmare. Constantly comes apart, doesn’t fit together properly from the beginning. Pee seeps through poorly manufactured parts that don’t properly conform together. Poop and hay get stuck in every crevasse – and there is a lot. It’s impossible to do the daily spot cleaning required to keep your pet happy and healthy without something falling off or coming apart. Once I completely disconnected it all again, even more unsanitary surprises in the pieces that fit together as part of the secure set up of the cage. Imagine assuming it’s all cleaned only to take apart fully months or years later and see all the hidden build up that had been unknowingly causing a disgustingly unhealthy environment for your furry Friend. This cage is insulting and a scam.

Listen to these other people lol it’s very cheaply made. Should have been $50 at the most! I don’t know what is worst…the design of it or the instructions.

We purchased this cage for our first two Guinea pigs. The directions weren’t wonderful and was rather annoying to put together. It feels very flimsy and if any of the panels or side secure pieces slide while cleaning or pulling out to clean behind the cage you end up with pee leaking along the edges. It does the job but it wish we would have spent money on something more sturdy and easier to clean.

Hello, I have had this purchase 2 days now and my son’s pet Guinea pig Mr.Peppers loves it! It’s so spacious, I could place 3 more in there but I’ll keep it to two. We’ll purchase a second Guinea pig soon. I will say; however, assembling the cage was TEDIOUS, it took me a about an hour or roughly 1.5 hours to complete such a task. The instruction guide is not clear to follow; flooring and wall attachments very tricky. While it was stressful, lol I got it done and it’s up now so I am happy! Do I recommend? Space wise and hideout yes but assembling no unless you have the time and want a challenge. The henges also do not stick in place properly but other than that…the Guinea pig is happy thus, I am too.

One of these cages came with our 2 guinea pigs, but after looking it up I realized it was missing pieces so I bought them a new one (exact same one). It took me about an hour to assemble by myself. The only thing missing was the 2 screws (I wasnt worried about this).
I will say if you buy this one it does like to try to come apart if you move it by your self (even sliding it across the floor. My guinea pigs don’t like the ramp cause it doesn’t have sides (easy fix with a box). If your guinea pigs like moving stuff around you may need to do some rigging to the ramp so they don’t knock it off. Other than that, buy puppy pads or some form of liner cause the cage may leak(it also makes for easy clean up).
Petlover87 (verified owner) –
Great cage for 2+ all the reviews saying it falls apart are because they didn’t fallow the instructions. There are screws to install so it doesn’t fall apart. We pick the cage up and move it all the time without it falling apart because we put the screws in it. With that being said yes it doest take some time and patience to put together. JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.

I owned this cage for a very short period of time. Within not even 2 weeks of using I noticed a strong odor, I use fleece and change daily so obviously it wasn’t the fleece. I picked up my cage to relocate it, and low and behold my table is absolutely destroyed and the table top is now stained a dark black with hexagons. I hope you do not have to experience what I went through with this setup. Please think twice before you buy this cage.

Cheap and unsafe. You cannot move it without it falling apart. The whole thing is flimsy. The concept is ok, but not well made. I do not trust that it would keep other animals out and keep my pig safe. The bottom will clearly leak. You will have to disassemble to clean the hideaway. The door is a joke. You would have to remove a top panel to get to your pet, and based on the quality of the parts, this would soon cause failure.
Rach12345 (verified owner) –
We bought this about 2 weeks ago. WORST INVESTMENT EVER!! Not only is it a pain in the butt to put together, it’s almost impossible to clean. You have to take the ENTIRE cage apart to clean and keep putting back together. Now, if it were simple snapping that wouldn’t be an issue. But no. This is like IKEA worthy!! When you get one side in, the other pops out over and over! Just to re assemble the thing took over an hour. Luckily I was able to find the instructions to do it! By then end it looked like crap because I just didn’t care anymore. The plastic is already broken on the bottom so not sturdy at all. Just an overall overpriced piece
Anonymous (verified owner) –
After some finicking around, I managed to get the cage together. Not the worst quality in the world but it could have been better. The one problem I have with it is the ramp. My pigs are terrified to use it because it’s too slippery. I used some spare cloth and velcroed that to the ramp but they just chew on that. The platform is too tall for them to jump and I’m worried they’ll starve themselves before daring to try the ramp. Another issue is the top. My cats like to jump on it and the grids bow down from their weight. Would return if I could. Not recommending this to anyone.

I bought this cage about a year ago, and it’s been nothing but a nightmare when it comes to cleaning it. I wish I would’ve read the reviews before I purchased. With this type of cage, you have to clean it about every 2 days because of how much they poop…and that gets costly, having to keep buying more paper bedding. The best cages are the ones with the wire that goes to the floor, that has a canvas bottom that can be easily cleaned daily. 0 stars if I could.
