My child loved the cage for her first pet gerbil. It’s very roomy and was simply for my husband and child to put together. Lots of places for the gerbil to explore.  However, buyer beware……please don’t use the the house that comes with it if you have a gerbil. Ours got stuck trying to get out of the window on the second day. She was unable to get out (body half in/half out) and we had to cut the house apart in order to release her. Everything else is great but they need to rethink the plastic house with larger holes or just one entry and exit. We find a house to go inside that was much better at the local pet store.
