"I am very satisfied with my purchase. The transaction was easy and the item came with no damages to it. I would definitely recommend this company to others. More than enough space for 3 rats."
"I still think about this cage 2 years later. It was so awful. Began rusting only a few months after getting it. Any urine/water/food/poop that got on the ramp ended up stuck under the small ridges.
