I was looking for a cage to replace the one my mama rat chewed giant holes in after she had her babies. After considering the price,  I took a chance and ordered the cage. I am SO glad I did! Although it was a pain to put together, the size and quality of construction means this cage will last forever. I have 9 rats, 2 adults and 7 two-week-old babies and after rehoming the babies out we will have 4 rats. There is more than enough room for toys, hammocks, food dish, wheel, and then some. If my rat family expands again, I may purchase the expansion for my ratties. Spend the money, this cage is great, easy to clean, HUGE (in a good way) and very well made.
