" ... I had a smaller cage for my ferret Dr. Pepper, but when I got Soba and they grew a bit, I needed a more spacious home for them. ... They have an entire room ferret-proofed specially for them, so they have plenty of space regardless, but I needed a cage where they wouldn't practically be on top of each other all the time. ... Overall very happy with this cage and how much space my little floofins have. ... "

" ... For 2 out of the 4 side panels, one of the pegs was two close to the frame, which made it impossible to to fit it into the peg hole. ... I tried applying some pressure to bend it back so it would lay remotely flat, and it cracked. ... I'm missing 2 out of 6 ramp clips. ... "
