Little Friends Blenheim Extra Tall Rat Cage with Accessories, 140 cm, Black

I needed a new cage as I'd recently rehomed a third ferret and the one I had was just not big enough. I'd originally seen this cage on other websites that I hadn't heard of. I was very sceptical at first due to the reviews that had been left for those particular companies, who were apparently not very credible. So naturally I turned my attention to Amazon (who I trust immensely) and saw that they too had this cage. After umming and ahhing, I caved and bought it. I am gobsmacked at the quality for such a low price. It took 30 minutes to put together - All of the pieces are whole, so you just have to slot and slide the framework into place and screw in with the Allen key and screws provided. It was SO SIMPLE. Ignore what people have said about it being difficult, it shouldn't take you any longer than an hour to put together. There are the two "walls", the "roof" and two side bars to connect the walls together. It comes with instructions too which were basic but helpful. It seriously couldn't have been any easier to put together. Not only this, but the height is phenomenal. I'm 5ft5" and it's nearly as tall as me and the width is nearly my arm's length. The framework is very sturdy and the wheels glide across the floor like a dream. The platforms are also very sturdy and click right into place. You can put them pretty much wherever you want which I was super happy about. Having the three doors for each section of the cage is also fantastic as it means that it will be way easier to clean. I can fit my entire arms and shoulder width into these doors, so none of the trying-to-reach-difficult-corner struggle that I've found with my previous cage (which I hated!). The doors also have their own locks attached too. I'm so happy with the space of this cage that I'm actually looking forward to giving it its first clean! Which brings me to my next point. This is the part that I was thrilled about, the bottom of the cage is its own litter tray. There are two trays that you slide into the bottom of the cage. The first is the actual barred metalwork which is used as the flooring as well as the divide for the second part, which is a large plastic tray that slides directly underneath it. You can see on the official pictures of what I mean. But this plastic tray slides right into place without any problems whatsoever, AND there is also a disk-lock that you can turn to hold the metal framework in place. It's amazing. I am so happy that I bit the bullet and bought this cage. I scoured the Internet looking for a decent large cage, but most were going for over £200! This one totals to UNDER £100 including standard delivery. I'm surprised that this isn't going for much more. Definitely a bargain and if I needed to (although I doubt it due to the quality!), I would buy another again in a heartbeat. It is worth every single penny and it makes me feel better about my ferrets having somewhere decent, huge and safe to sleep in. HOWEVER, the spaces between the bars are small enough for my tiniest ferret to not get through (I put him in it to test as he has managed to get under the oven before as he's so small!), but I imagine baby ferrets, rats and mice would manage to squeeze out of. If you're wanting to buy this for adult ferrets, there will be no problems whatsoever! I wish I had bought this cage sooner, but at least my old one can be used for when I go on holiday and have to take the fuzzies with me. If you're reading this and hesitating, don't. It's a well put together, awesome quality and super cheap cage that I definitely do not regret buying. I genuinely couldn't be happier with the cage itself and with the amazing service that Amazon has provided once again. I've provided some pictures so you can get a better look of what the end result looks like. I have included the platforms and litter tray from the old cage (which are the green parts) as well as blankets, but everything else including a water bottle and a BIG food bowl came with the cage. Awesome cage, awesome price and awesome service. Thank you!

After MANY hours of looking at different cages online, I decided to buy this one from the reviews, measurements and comparisons. I can confirm that everything is perfect. The setup is easy. Installation is easy. The material is very good quality. The space is fantastic for two male adult rats which is what I have and also the platforms are very good for cleaning. My favorite part of it is the slide out tray which is just fantastic for easy cleaning! A+++

A really beautiful cage, nice and big for my three rats. A couple of drawbacks though. I use fleece for my rats instead of bedding and it's really quite a job trying to take the fleece on and off with the way the shelves are designed. One of the clips snapped on the shelf as I was trying to place it back, so I'm one shelf down however it isn't the end of the world as it comes with so many. That is my main issue, it can be quite frustrating clipping the shelves and fleece in. Also at first, before my rats were litter trained they managed to poo and pee OUT of the cage, so god knows how someone using bedding would keep any of it on the actual shelves and not on their floor. The bars are really quite far apart so when I initially got my two babies they could fit through. Luckily they were shy and quite happy in the cage so they didn't escape. Other than these few minor complaints I'm really happy with my cage and so are my boys. If you want a big and beautiful cage then this one is for you, my room is quite pink and girly so this cage fits in perfectly. Over all, I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

perfect cage, one very happy ferret and easy to put together! and great price!

This cage is briallint very well made and a lot bigger than I had thought! Very well packaged upon arrival, was a little difficult to put together on your own, so be sure to have someone with you to help, once assembled the shelves are very easy to slot in and you can arrange them any way you want, the holes in the floors are plenty big enough to fit a male grown rat in, the bar spacing is a little wide so I don't feel it would be a good cage for baby rats/other small rodents however perfect for adults (i have adult 2 male degus in mine) but the bars are great for hanging toys and hammocks on, (bottom wire floor I would cover to avoid feet getting trapped or bumblefoot) but overall great well made cage, and a perfect size for you little fur balls would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a suitable sized cage which offers enough enrichment!

Rather annoyed that it's sold specifically as a rat cage only to find that when I've put it together the bars are 23mm distance between them. Going to be buying young rats and they'll undoubtedly be able to escape. Wish I'd read Q&A section a bit more before buying because I'd have bought something else... but when something is sold as a rat cage you expect it to keep rats in and you expect the bars to be distanced right to keep even small rats in. Others have said they've bought mesh to wrap the cage in... but that's not something you should have to do when you pay nearly £100 for it in the first place, might as well have made one from scratch if you need to buy mesh. It's a great cage really insofar as looks and how it's put together... it just needs more bars... manufacturer scrimping on materials? now I need another cage for young rats.... not good enough.
