The piggies seem happy with their new cage, but the reviews about the cleaning are true. While it's easier to get at to clean, our pets haven't started yet to only "do their business" on the bedding side. Hence, it is definitely a high maintenance cage to keep clean and the non-bedding side is completely stained from their urine. Having said all that; the piggies are more playful and less skiddish since moving into their new home. So, if you don't mind the upkeep, it's a fine product.
