Product Description
At first glance you may think this is just an ordinary cage, but this is the extraordinary Zanzibar rat cage.
It's a large rodent house and certainly the largest one that we sell, the bar spacing is 13mm this means you can keep rats, chinchilla, degu or chipmunks in this cage - there is so much room its a whopping 61cm long x 66 cm high x 38cm wide that's BIG!
The cage comes complete with a mounted swinging hammock; so after your pet has had a tiring day of exercise he can fall into his swinging hammock exhausted, to add to his delight he has the climbing stairs, to the first floor deck then on to the next floor to his bedroom platform house, on the opposite side of the cage he has a resting lodge
There is a full wire base and underneath are the slide out trays that make cleaning so much simpler
Mounted on the side of the cage is the hay feeder, all the platforms, feeder, lodge and the house is made of clean nice quality timber

A good value spacious cage if remove all the 'extras'. I liked the curved design at the top. It comes flat packed and quite easy to errect. The two draws are fiddly to clean, as for rats the kitty litter you need to use gets everywhere. I was disappointed with this cage because the wood used for the platforms and hay bale etc are not treated and smell strongly of pine, which is known to shorten the lives by causing respitary problems for rats. Also the bottom grill is not suitable for rats as they require a solid floor to stand on. Its probably better for degus or maybe chinchillas unless they are also sensitive to pine. The one i purchased did not come with the standard water bowl or food bowl, so ask advice from seller.

I bought this cage , and was very disappointed with it. Here are my reasons:
1) Not easy to clean out
2) urine of rat gets absorbed into wood platforms , therefore it is very smelly.
3) faulty caging- the bars did not line up properly
4) the lid does not fasten on sercurly , so you can not lift it up by the handle at the top.
I really would NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAGE! You can get plenty of much better ones that are a lot cheaper and a lot better for the rat and for you.
I hope this review helped !

I bought this cage from a local store for my two new babies.
It's not so bad. It does have a wire floor. I took that out, and had to secure the trays so they can't push them out and escape (gaffa tape!) but aside from that it's not so bad. It's not huge (for two male rats) but will suit my juvies for a while. Because the floor is split into two trays, if you take the metal rack out it does reduce your floor space - you need hides that will fit in 1/2 the space (there's a lip). And you have to lift the big bits of garbage out before the trays will slide - but overall it's a lot better than when I've used tanks and you've had to shovel the lot out!
The hammock looks good but I've replaced it with my own. The hay feeder - GENIUS. I let my boys settle in too long so they're not so friendly now, and this gives them something to keep them busy all night. The odd... wooden... thing... well, god knows, but they like to climb on it :D
I will be looking for another cage, but for the price I don't think it's a bad starter for babies if you don't mind removing the floor pieces and securing the trays. It's a bit difficult to get your hand in there with the ladder but for cleaning you can just lift the whole lid off if you need to.
Not great, but works with mods.
