Too small for a rabbit
The minimum recommended size for a hutch/cage is 6' (180cm). In addition, a larger area is needed for daily execise. It is essential that your rabbit has the room to stretch in all directions. A rabbit cage/hutch that's too small can effect your rabbits health - causing spine problems, muscle wastage and obesity.
I have not found a cage big enough (only Ferplast Rabbit 160 Cage )so I recommend to buy the largest dog cage (or two) you can find! and make it 2 storey (its higher than rabbit cage) and let your bunny run around a lot...again if it can stay open 24/7 PERFECT :) Please research rabbits needs before you buy.
great cage, fiddly to put together
Great cage. Lots of extras like hay hoppers etc. Easy access to guinea pig. Easy to clean. Base tray arrived damaged after the delivery company dropped it, but Poshpets quickly sent a new one. Took a while to put together the wire top.
Cruel
Having taken a look at one of these cages recently I was appalled at the design - the most significant point being, other than the slippery plastic, that there is no "house" or easily available hide hole for the animals to live in. Most small animals, being timid by nature need a bolt hole that they can run to if they feel threatened. Failure to provide such a place will leave them stressed out and liable to suffer health problems, poor quality of life and even bite their owners. Sure, you can buy a vast range of "houses" to put in the cage, and even a modified cardboard box will do, but the point is that the designers appear to have left this simple, fundamental consideration out of this cage.
