Ferplast Cage Review


I recently bought the Ferplast Rabbit 140 cage for my guinea pigs. This cage is designed for rabbits but is perfect for large guinea pigs or groups of guinea pigs. It measures 140 x 71 x h 51 cm and there is the option to buy a stand for it. I'm currently keeping 3 small piggies in the cage and will be welcoming a fourth very soon. There is more than enough room for all of them to run around freely.





The cage comes folded down in a box and is very easy to assemble, it took about 15-20 minutes to fully assemble.
It comes with 2 little houses, 2 food bowls, 2 water bottles, 2 plastic hay feeders and a plastic ladder for the guinea pigs/rabbits to walk in and out of the cage if you allow them to wander the room freely.



The little houses are perfect for my guinea pigs but may be too small for rabbits or larger guinea pigs, however they can be replaced with other beds if you prefer.

 

The food bowls are a good size for the amount of food I feed my guinea pigs and the way they fit on top of the little houses means they don't tip over when the piggies are eating.



The water bottles and their holders fit perfectly on the cage, as do the plastic hay feeders, although I only use 1 of them. I don't use the ladder as I keep my cage on a stand.

The one downside to this cage is that the door isn't joined to it very securely and detaches if not opened carefully but this can be easily fixed.

The cage is also easier to clean than I had expected, although it may take a while because it is pretty big, it's relatively easy due to the fully opening door.




As I don't keep rabbits I couldn't give advice on keeping rabbits in this cage but I would highly recommend it for guinea pigs and I think it is a brilliant cage for them.
