Came in sooner than I was expecting. The cage's front door is a bit loose, but using some black clips helps it stay in place. Overall good purchase! -Mace K.

It's a good size; however, the doors do NOT securely close which is a huge problem:(
I foster squirrels and opossums for our local nature center and needed a larger cage.
I laterlaterl found the same cage on Amazon for $20 less. - Barbara M

Better then the one I got from Amazon that let my hedgehogs out even with it clips on. I even paid the same on Amazon. I recommend this cage. - Crystal S.

I ordered this cage simply because the Prevue Hendryx 528 was getting hard to find and I needed at least one more of them. I saw this cage and noticed it was quite close to the Prevue cage, so I bought one. While it is *almost* exactly the same cage, there are a few differences, two of which are what makes me give this three stars. This cage, as well as the Prevue ones, were purchased for rats (about 3 males or 4 females per cage, in case you're wondering).
While I appreciate that the shelf is metal (Prevue cages have plastic shelves), it's a pain in the rear to attach to the cage and quite honestly, harder to clean. My rats apparently love to pee and poop on the shelves more than anywhere else and the poop just gets compacted and ground into the shelf so much, that I have to really dig in to get it off. As an every day task, this gets daunting and has made me decide to take the shelf out altogether.
The other annoyance are the cage clips. The Prevue cages have plastic clips, these are metal. They are hard to attach and I feel like they aren't trustworthy at all and the bottom will fall off when trying to pick the cage up by the handles. I would honestly like to see a redesign of these clips and I would definitely raise my review to 4 stars if that alone was changed.
All that being said, I *would* purchase again. The Zanzibar cage is pretty much identical to the Prevue cage in every other way (dimensions are only slightly different). It's a sturdy cage (but like I said, I wouldn't trust it being picked up by the handles), easy to put together and super easy to clean. I had to use needle nose pliers to cinch some of the hooks tighter when putting the cage together but I'd rather have to do that than fight with getting the bar hooked. The front door is very large and it also has a large top door so you can access any part of the cage very easily. - Melodie B.

I was very excited to find a cage that was actually big enough for a hamster’s square inch needs. Nothing in the pet store comes close to the size and the openings tend to be too small to be functional. This one has two nice sized openings with an additional bar attachment to keep the front one from opening accidentally. The additional level makes a nice area for the food dish and dust bowl so that they aren’t constantly filled with the paper bedding. The cage seems fairly sturdy and easy to clean. The price point was comparable to the smaller ones at the pet store. The whole thing was very easy to put together. The only problem at all is the wires are slightly soft and one was not fully attached at a joint when we got it, although this is nothing that can’t be fixed with a tiny drop of super glue. I would absolutely order again. - Mary V.

We purchased two of these cages for our hedgehogs & will be purchasing more. I can’t say enough good things about the cage. It’s very well made compared to ones they sell in the store. It’s easy to clean & safe for the hedgehogs. It’s definitely worth buying 😁 -Shelley R.
