Description is incorrect & same incorrect info is repeated in the answers. Bar spacing is 1", not .45". I have button quail & the spacing is too large. Very upset that I have to alter the product to use or pay pricey return shipping to return. I researched options for a month before deciding on this product & I'm very unhappy right now. It's otherwise pretty nice. One latch doesn't seem as secure as I'd like, but looks like we'll have to fix all these issues ourselves. If you have larger birds or critters, it looks great. My Japanese quail will do fine in it. Just bummed all my work to get a great, safe house was thwarted by bad info being listed. Twice.
