Beautiful cage!
This is a great cage for guinea pigs! I wish I could fit a larger cage but I live in a small apartment in NYC and rent is too high ahaha. I looked for hours trying to find the perfect cage and I am so happy I got this. The color is very attractive, and plastic cages are easy to clean (dump all the bedding and scrub!!) Initially, I ordered the Midwest cage, the green one with the canvas bottom but I canceled my order after reading how difficult upkeep was. I don't have a washing machine in my home so doing fleece isn't an option. I wanted to put a coroplast bottom on the canvas cage but my nearby home depot doesn't have any in stock ahaha and I don't have a car....So yea this cage was honestly the best I could get for my pigs. Setting up was ok, it was weird putting in the side because they have to click...Or they won't be even and it'll seem like they sent you wrong parts! So yes you definitely need some muscle to set this cage up. The top part of the cage is definitely a little weak because it's so large, but I don't mind, I'm not putting very heavy things on it anyway. I hope this review helps; obviously if you can use a bigger cage for your pigs then please do!!! Also, consider buying a fence so you can set up a safety perimeter to give them some floor time!
**by the way, this cage comes with a water bottle (small) and a hay rack (also pretty small). There are stairs but they are at a 90 degree angle lol so the pigs can't use it anyway, my pigs know how to jump up to the platform.
And if anyone is wondering, I have two boys. Goofy is ~1.5 years old and Coco is still young, we don't know how young exactly, but he's definitely less than 6 months.
