This was bought for our hedgehog. We previously had him in a short walled open container (that’s the best way I can describe it). We also have a cat and a dog and I’ve been concerned about them getting nosey and getting hurt. This cage is perfect! His food and water are up on the second level out of the paper. There is room for his saucer and he loves going under the second level into his half log. The only con so far is that the cage part was bent up when I opened it with no damage to the box.
