Mid West Homes for Pets Guinea Habitat Plus Guinea Pig Cage by Midwest w/Top Panel, 47L x 24W x 14H Inches

Got for our hedgehog and she loved it! Lots of space and easy to clean! Very easy to put together

I bought my two guinea pigs one of these this summer off Amazon. It was about twice the size of the cage they lived in before. I chose not to use the divider because I thought they would enjoy the space more if it was completely open. They seemed really happy. The added space made them run around and bounce. It had plenty space for two pigs, two hay feeders, two fleece beds, an edible log and an igloo. Also, it was possible to use fleece bedding just like we did in the old cage. Pinning the fleece down didn't work because one of my guinea pigs thought it would be a good idea to try to burrow under it. So, we thought it would be safer not to pin it down. However, if I was a more able seamstress, it would be possible to make changeable pads using fleece and towels so that she couldn't burrow anymore and making it super easy to change the bedding. The cage is sturdy and has survived being moved around, being pulled off the table by the dog, and being sat on by the cat. Because having the extra living space made the guinea pigs so happy, and because we love our guinea pigs so much, about six months after getting the Midwest Habitat, we decided to buy a second and connect them like it says you can. We rotated the outer panels so the doors faced in and were on the shorter ends. Then we added a second cage, using the ramps just like it shows. The ramps are very easy for the guinea pigs to use. One of our guinea pigs is very large and she can use it. One of our guinea pigs is really small and she is able to use it too. A few weeks after getting the second cage, we decided that we could easily accommodate a third guinea pig in the now massive habitat. We did and there is plenty room for three pigs, two igloos, two corner litter pans, four fleece beds, two hay feeders and an edible log. They also have a small wooden chew toy and a salt lick. There is still plenty space for them to run around--which they do frequently. Having the second cage actually makes cleaning their habitat easier. Before we would take them out of the cage, leave them on the floor in the kitchen, and change the fleece. Now, we simply change one side and then change the other. The pigs will all flock to the other side while we remove the fleece from either side. We use the door to barricade them out of the section as we change it. Once the clean fleece replaces the dirty fleece, they come in to explore the clean side and we barricade them in to change the other side. One side of the cage never gets as dirty as the other. They do not go to the bathroom as much on the side that they don't eat on. So, the feeding side of the cage is much messier. I have read other people's reviews on the Midwest Habitat and some people say that one of the downsides is that the guinea pigs chew on the canvas bottom of the cage. About five months after we got the cage, one of ours did start nibbling on the edges. However, she did not do so nearly enough to cause enough damage to remotely interfere with it's use. Also, from what I understand, the canvas bottom is healthier because it ventilates much better than a thick plastic bottom. A lot of people build their own guinea pig cages, which is great. However, I lack carpentry skills. Also, a lot of the custom made cages I've seen don't have a lid. For me, the lid was essential as I have two cats (who aren't really interested in harming the guinea pigs but do want, for some reason, to explore their cage). Also, it is extremely convenient, easily expandable, and easy to use. Therefore, if you are like me and lack carpentry skills, this is an easy way to give your guinea pigs all the space he or she needs. Getting two of these cages was the BEST decision I have made to make my pets happy. They went from living in a cage to a true habitat, a real home. It really made them come alive. I would invest the money on this product all over again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend it!

Such a great cage. My 2 little girls were jumping with joy (literally). It was the cutest thing ever.

I purchased this cage about a year and a half ago for my senior piggy, on a whim as I saw it discounted for half on a Prime Day and I've seen other guinea pig owners recommend the cage in an online group. I should have read the description better as it isn't really any bigger than the previous cage we had plus some other hiccups.PRO: I like the divider with the ramp for keeping areas separate. It would also be useful for temporarily separating piggies but it wouldn't offer much space for either guinea pig. But as my guinea pig has gotten older, it has gotten harder for her to move her back hips at times, so the divider was removed, which added a little more room. You can also move the divider to the 1/3 mark or 1/2 mark for the cage. The canvas covering for the ramp can removed and washed, and also replaced here on Amazon I believe. Which is a good thing cuz it got nAsTy. I wound up stretching old socks over it and washing them or throwing them away during cage changes.PRO: The entire top of the cage is removable to access the whole cage at once. Or you can fold it over part way or halfway to access only one part of the cage.Pro: The way the cage is constructed means you can add on more cages for more space for more piggies!PRO: The bottom is made of a sturdy canvas that velcros onto the outside of the cage. So it's completely removeable and can get a good wash down as needed. You can also leave the canvas off and use the bottom-less cage as a secure playpen outside for grass and weed munch-down sessions. I recommend combining the two activities and letting both the pigs and the canvas bask in the sunlight. :)CON: The cage does NOT feel sturdy enough to withstand a determined cat or dog trying to get into the cage or knock it down. The top bows down quite a bit when my cat boldly tries to lay on the top. He's never tried to get into the cage or knock it down or anything though. It should have more clips along the top perimeter and perhaps a removable crossbar to keep it from bowing down. Also, there are gaps along the corners and sides where the panels join. There are no clips, it's just an L-shaped hook and eye situation which often comes undone when I'm cleaning the cage and moving it around just a little bit on it's base. Some gridwall closures would work well here.CON: While the canvas was mentioned as a pro, please be aware that is all there is to the base! If you don't have it flat on the ground or well supported on a sturdy base that is big enough, there is nothing to support the canvas. My base is just a smidge too narrow, so the walls fall off each side just enough to create this "gutter" on the inside. While it's not as sturdy as I would like, the poops accumulate in the gutters while I'm cage cleaning which makes it easier to sweep or suck them up. Also the canvas gets dirty no mater what you do, so it becomes a situation where it's stained over time. I did make a corrugated plastic tray for her hay, but she likes to poo and pee ALLLL over her cage, so it was pointless to try to "litter train" her. She is stuck in her ways.CON: This cage just isn't quite big enough for guinea pigs unless they get ample floor time for exercise, play, exploring and social fun times. :) If your piggy gets the zoomies and likes to popcorn a lot, you will find this cage to be a bit constricting. When you see how far and fast they can run and how much they enjoy the space, it makes you kinda sad to put them back in the cage. :/ Even at 7, my guinea pig is still quite active, so the next time this cage is on sale, I plan to purchase another one and add it on so she has more space. I'm also heading to the hardware store now that I know what "gridwall connectors" are. LOLCON: A standard cage-mounted water bottle for a rodent DOES NOT work with these cages. We had several different kinds and none of them worked. Turns out our guinea pig hydrates herself much better out of a dish. My son said "Who knew Jewels was a dish pig!" :) The downside is if I left for a weekend, I would have to leave multiple dishes out. The water evaporates quickly and she gets it dirty too.CON: The clips on the top of the cage get stuck to the cage when you are trying to remove the top or open one part of the top. It's not that much of a big deal, but it's a pain when you have something in your hands and have to put it down, you know, like a guinea pig. Or their food or water. Or it was JUST unclipped, what the heck?! And again with the sturdiness, I don't feel like they would hold if a cat or dog tried to get into the cage or knock it over. They kind of spin in place and are easy to unclip. Which is why they get stuck too.
