Great little critter pen!
We purchased this for a hedge hog, being cheaper than the other brand that’s one here by half we decided to give it a go!What we liked- easy to clean. The bottom is water proof. The critter pee doesn’t soak through or absorb into the material. Wipes clean fairly easy.- open top to easier handle the hedge hog with the spines, for my kids to handle and interact with the hedgie. Tall enough hedgie doesn’t and can’t escape- adequate and ample room for the hedge hogs space that’s also fairly affordable.- lines with fleece bedding great. We measured and sewn our own to fit.- easy to set up. My 8yr old son put this together. He just needed help understanding the tabs the bar goes through. See below for info on the instructions- it was an affordable purchase, my son purchased this with his Christmas money to replace a large clear plastic tote we had the hedge hog in before.- works out better than any other home we had for our hedgie- the hedge hog is ultimately happy. Happy critters happy owners!- fits water bottles just fine instead of water bowls.What we didn’t like- the corners: let me explain the bottom is totally flat, with instructions to fold them and Velcro them into a corner. 3 corners were fabulous the one corner not so much. I did reinforce the corners with safety pins near the top - Not a deal breaker especially for the price. The pin holes will not effect the water proof barrier for us as we use fleece for bedding and change every other day.- the panels over lap a bit after it’s all put up which doesn’t give it a strait line on the long side. Might just be my OCD. Again not a deal breaker.- the directions are not helpful if you aren’t mechanically inclined to figure out how it gets put together. The tabs all around the edges go over the last bar on the bottom and you slide the pins through to keep the bottom attached to the panels. It was easy for us to figure out rather quickly but we have a small army of animals here mending and building cages is 2nd nature. We didn’t use the instructions but some may have to.Things that weren’t in consideration for us that someone might be looking for info on:- This doesn’t come with a top, it doesn’t need a top for our needs as hedge hogs aren’t great climbers. That would be an additional cost if you needed that for your critter. The other brands top would fit though based on true measurements taken when it’s all put together.- It has access doors on each side. We didn’t need them. They secure well, but they are kinda small. They would work easily to combine 2 of these together for other critters who would need more room for multiple critters.- the corner stand that it comes with seems sturdy. The tabs to put it on are kinda wonky. We don’t use the corner stand shown in the picture for the intended purpose. I wasn’t even going to use it, until my kiddo suggested it be another hide out for the hedgie. He didn’t like it. We moved it up and use it to set his brush and dustpan on for cleaning the cage daily.- bedding.... I don’t know how this would hold bedding. I’m not a fan of bedding we use fleece so I don’t have that struggle of having a mess.I would purchase again for the price of it even with the faults. To be honest I should have seen them coming before purchasing. It’s a great home for our hedge hog and works out better than anything we have had. Which is tiring and exhausting to find a great cage or pen for critters that’s affordable.

Good & Affordable option over the Midwest Cage
This cage kept my 2 guinea pigs happy. They had space to run. I was able to place two hideys inside and their food dish's. I used the shelf for hay and they liked the option of being able to climb on it. I also switched it up and moved the shelf higher so they could hide under it. They liked that as well. Using it for hay was best for me because the hay did not end up all over their cage.This cage is great.Cleaning is tedious because of the size and well, guinea pigs are messy. I used a big dustpan to scoop the bedding out and used paper liners underneath the bedding to keep the canvas clean.TO ASSEMBLE: you will need to lay the canvas flat, place the cage on the canvas, pinch the corners of the cage so they fold in, pull the rods through the canvas holes. They go on the inside of the cage. The big loops at the end of the rods will rest on each corner. Fold the Velcro flaps along the cage walls. I did it in that order, I think or similar. Hopefully this helps a bit cause the directions are a little confusing.This was way less expensive than the Midwest and it works perfectly. Save your MONEY!

Using it for quail but...
I'm actually using this for my growout quail so I can grow them out/sort them into groups before selling them. I've never kept guinea pigs or rabbits but this seems fine for young ones or as a "home base" for free ranging critters.Bought them because they hit what I needed: right price, right size to stack, easy to assemble/dissemble.That being said, they are not sturdy even with the divider and the roof. Zipties along the joints are your friends if your animals jump on the bars (quail do not so this is a non-issue for me). I purchased 2 cages - one was relatively OK put together with a little elbow grease and some pliers but the other cage was a struggle. The struggle one's canvas wouldn't go on right and the roof seemed slightly off in size. I wouldn't say they're difficult to put together but I can see how your mileage may vary because the cages don't seem entirely consistent in quality. You will want pliers if you plan to latch the roof down with the clips provided. And ofc the base is canvas so you will want something solid underneath - I stacked them on top of each other with the cardboard they came in as a cushion/buffer for the bottom of the cage. Maybe I put them on wrong but if you put the shelf in the corner it may interfere with the door - I wasn't planning to use that side so it I didn't bother checking to see if it could be fixed or put a lot of effort into where I hooked them.Reasonable cage for the price. May purchase a few more in the future if I get around to making a shelving until to hold them perm.

Love this cage!!!!!
I love this cage! I read all of the reviews about how hard it is to put together so I was worried about that. It was super easy to set up. My 9 year old did it and didn't even have to look at the instruction booklet. The cage part is already put together so you just have to place it on top of the canvas, then pull the loops over to secure it to the straight bar. I love the size!! It is plenty big for our two guinea pigs. They really seem to be happy in their new home. I will agree it is not sturdy. As long as you put it together where it will stay this is not a big deal....or just take the pets out and then move it. It is only as hard as you make it. We use a bath towel on the bottom and over it in fleece...super easy to clean daily and to change out everything weekly. I am very satisfied with this product!! Great size cage for the money. Well worth it.

It's Decent
Set up was a pain. Good thing it's for a guinea pig because I don't think I would trust it with kittens or rabbits. Generous size for one guinea pig. We use piddle pads to absorb pee and haven't had any issues with the bottom yet. The guinea pig seems to like it better than his old cage.
