Flashy hamster prison...

Advantages: Are there any? It connects to other tube-line cages.
Disadvantages: No ventilation, very low "ceilings".

...would stain the plastic. Ferplast normally make high-quality good sized cages but this appears to have been born of the hideous need companies have to make something fun for kids without the slightest consideration to the animal that has to live in it. There doesn't seem to be enough height for a Syrian hamster to stand on its back legs anywhere in the cage. At around £55 this cage is a complete waste of money, there are many better cages on the ...

Review of Ferplast Flipper Hamster Cage

Quick review of the Mini Duna Hamster

Advantages: No draughts!
Disadvantages: Not much floor space for extra toys/wheels.

This is an all round great cage, easy to clean and good access to your pets. The only problem I have found is the plastic roof can crack easily around the door hinge. With the level there is not a huge amount of room if you need to add two wheels (for example if you have two dwarf hamsters). It is a reasonable size for smaller pets (dwarf hamsters, mice) but a bit small for gerbils or Syrian hamsters. Due to the all-plastic sides, ventilation may ...

Review of Ferplast Mini Duna Hamster Cage

If you're buying a rat cage, get this one!

Advantages: Big improvement of previous Ferplast cage in many ways
Disadvantages: Access still not fantastic, especially if you stack them up

...looks airy and the grey ferplast shelves match nicely. I have three in this colour. Size: It really is huge! the biggest cage I've had for rats, except an avairy. The height is a little taller than most conventional rat cages but it really is a lot wider and deeper than most. WxDxH = 75cm x 80cm x 85cm (aprox.) It's big enough for up to 9 rats but I prefer to keep it to about 4-6 so they have lots of space.It's size means it is great for the rats ...
...at some point. Accessories: Ferplast make excellent accessories. They are a great size, excellent quality and easy to clean, mostly. The cage comes with a couple of shelves, a ramp and some tubes. The shelves are very sturdy and don't flex when heavy boys stand on the edge like other brand shelves do, however, they have ridges (for grip I assume) which can make cleaning a pain. Being so big you can get lots of nice accessories in your XL, but hammocks ...

Review of Ferplast Furet XL Cage

Attractive cage, good size and quality

Advantages: good price, comes with accessories, large size
Disadvantages: cage bars discolour slightly over time

I bought this cage several months ago when I purchased 4 pet rats - I wanted something that was large enough for them all, looked decent and didnt cost the earth. After extensive searching in shops and online I settled for the jenny rat cage. The cage is big enough to house 4 rats, it comes with food bowls, levels and tubes which all helps to cut down on the cost of buying accessories! There is also enough space to add more accessories if needed. ...
...top and one near the base of the front and back which helps when taking rats out and putting them back in! The top of the cage also lifts off from a plastic base which makes it very easy to wipe down and clean out. The cage bars are of uncoated metal which does start to discolour over time due to rats climbing on and gnawing the bars but this is something to be expected and does not detract to severly from the look. All in all this is an excellent ...

Review of Ferplast Jenny Rat Cage

A decent ferret cage for a reasonable price

Advantages: large, multiple access doors, appealing look
Disadvantages: eventual rusting of bars, ferret has worked out how to open the doors on his own

The ferplast ferret cage is, in my opinion, a good cage for the price. The bars are well spaced (not suitable for smaller animals which would be able to escape) and there are several access 'doors'. The cage sits upon a relatively deep plastic base (easy to lift off) which is easy to clean, although if your ferret likes to squat in a corner when going to the toilet, there can become a rather clumped mess around the top of the plastic and base of ...
...- this problem could probably be solved by increasing the base depth a little more. Increasing the depth would also help to reduce the amount of 'spill' eg. sawdust that the ferret inevitably kicks out onto the floor. The cage is provided with a couple of levels which you can fit at any height within the cage you desire - this gives the ferret extra room to play around in, there is also plenty of space to add other accessories. There are several ...
