MidWest Homes for Pets Ferret Nation Lower Scatter Guard for Ferret Nation & Critter Nation Small Animal Cages

the top scatter guard works amazing for ferret nation 183 this one was super easy to install and was easy to put on the tray(btw) it's easier to install the panels with the tray outside the cage .. I think I read something that someone was trying to do it while the pan was in the cage.. I'm pleased with the fit. When putting together they're a tab you bend it to help secure it. The bottom scatter gaurd I had a slight issue with the first one Item side gaurds are too big by a half inch to 1/4 inch on the sides can't install it to my pan for my ferret nation 181. some of the pieces were slightly damaged but the boxes are not. Was returned before Im thinking? for the same issue because of the damage on the part that snap together. I ordered another one it was slightly better but still a little too big on the side, it doesn't fit in the pan on one side and sits up causing a gap. Maybe I'll order another and see if I have the same issue for the bottom scatter gaurd. If so I'll probably modify it to fit correctly.

Sturdy, exactly like original. My chin was a rescue and came with his cage. He had chewed through corner of his shelf. I had to leave it bc I couldn’t afford a new shelf. He kept chewing it so I put a pillowcase over it. After buying the new shelf, he doesn’t chew and I got rid of the pillow case! Love the new one!

Finally found a cover for my cage. I'm not sure why it's so hard to find ones for bird cages when they're supposed to be covered at night. I don't have the same brand of cage but it has similar measurements. It's a little big which is okay. I have perches and his light on the outside so snug wouldn't work anyway. It looks better than my blanket and sheets over the cage. Easier to get in as well. It also makes moving it a bit easier since I don't have to worry about the wheels getting stuck in it. It's a good value for your money. The cheapest option I could find that would actually cover my whole cage. The build quality is a bit cheap. I have zip ties on my cage and I'm afraid they'll rip it. My green cheek was also immediately interested in the Velcro. The door opening is fine if you can just toss it in top. My light is up there however and I have to put it off to the side.

This very much does the job I need it to do. It keeps my ferrets from pooping over the edge of the tray since they think they must aim for the sky each and every time giving my newly painted wall a fresh crusty paint job. I do have a couple that pull on the edges and try to get behind it which is a bother, cause the sides come unattached easily. The clips go over and under the tray which is what holds it into place on all sides. The food that they spill out gets trapped under the edges so I have to be sure and lift when cleaning to get all the bits out. And once a week I remove the tray to clean trapped hair and mess behind and under. But the clips catch on the bars of the cage making it difficult to get out. Although I'd rather it be difficult to get out than easy for them to disassemble. I clean the cages daily with a vinegar, bleach and water spray and after time the coating is coming off and it rusts. This is becoming a big issue and I'm worried they are going to lick the rust. May try another option or brand of I can find one. I'm fine with it being flimsy, I just rather it not rust. I have 4 cages so the cost is up there for these. Please find a fix for that. Be sure to measure your tray. It fits well if you do. All in all, I much rather have these than not.

Exactly what I needed for my Ferret nation Midwest cage (I have added hardware cloth to the outside since I have juvenile rats) the shelf is covered with the fleece I use but it's the exact same wire shelf with a plastic tray as what I already had. So now I have the ability to add a 3rd shelf or in my case I use it so I can put the new fleece cover on the shelf in my hand and then make it faster when changing bedding since my curious little rats will try to get in the way if you're not really quick. So whether you are ordering to replace with cleaning or you just need an additional level, it will be the same size and cage side attachment as any ferret nation or critter nation cage. This is the metal support frame work that supports the plastic tray and the plastic tray together as well as super handy ladder clips. I mention this since for my purposes at this time I only needed the plastic tray but I was excited to get both since it gives me more options. I bought my ferret nation Midwest cage used so I have never known about the ladder clips and now I'm hoping I can order a couple of those alone and one replacement wheel. My cage is more than 5yrs old with lots of use (just an idea of durability).

works great for adding depth to your cages used for my rats only problem i have is that it didnt fit on the side of the cage could only be hooked on back, so i just had to hook one side and ziptie the other functional but not optimal, i used 3 ties so its secure but would have preferd it to hook normally

I don't know if this is going to help keep bedding in, it doesn't really fit right down to the bottom, which is why i don't think this is going to work well, the bedding gets shoved under the guard and spews along the side, which is really making it hard to clean, that, and it doesn't hold together well. It might help a little, maybe, it's gotta be a lot better than what I had before, which was nothing, so there's bedding all over the floor, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Trying to get the tray in after putting this on was a pain, the door wouldn't shut, so I really had to squish it back in order for that to close. I gave it 3 stars only because I am hoping that it will at least cut down on the 'shedding' so I won't have as much all over the floor. UPDATE: dropped it down to 1 star because it does not help at all! know my rats have had a fabulous night of playtime, when i get up and find more bedding on the floor than in the cage. (it is cute when they look at you and go, did we do that??) but it's a waste of $, wish i had kept the box and everything else, maybe i could have gotten a refund, and the bedding does get stuck between the cage and guard, which makes it a pain to clean. Try a different method, this does not help!

Ok. I do have Ferret Nation cage and it was horrible because the pan was shallow and bedding was always around the cage. Plus everyone knows that the ferrets do they pooping stuff in the corners so when the ”parking back” they can miss corner, like overflow it and sometimes stool get between the cage and the pan. Sorry for all this details. So I was looking for something to make some kind of pee guard around and to keep bedding at least 90% in the cage. Of course better to buy special metal pans, but they do expensive. Unfortunately I didn't have extra $250 to improve my cage. So.... Some one show me this one guards. Of course it’s not exactly fit my cage but still it's fit and now my life is much easier. The majority of the bedding is inside the cage and all ferrets pooping inside too. Easy to clean, especially if you do it at least one's a day. You can see on a pictures that there is still space between the pan and this guard. And one more thing- I didn't realised how it supposed to be connect to existed cage so I simply used zip ties.

Past perfect in kooi heel tevreden en aan te raden

LOVE IT!!!!No more messes on my floor, fits cage well. This is a must have for small fur baby cages.

The Critter Nation cage itself is fantastic, almost perfect except for the rubbish "tray" it comes with. A tray that allows the substrate to fly off everywhere. This item they have designed to be sold separately for a problem they themselves have manufactured, but it works, and works really well. A little flimsy but your pets (or your negligence) shouldn't break it any time soon.

Waste of money cheaply made and don’t fit together correctly

Très pratique pour éviter de retrouver de la litière partout 😅
