In a Nutshell

  • Front access panel and easy setup are appreciated.

  • Durability of the accessories, such as the water bottle, is a concern.
  • Great price point and aesthetic appeal of the grass wall with a built-in cave.

Quick Verdict

The MidWest Cleo Guinea Pig Cage is well-loved for its design and ease of use, but its small size and durability issues make it less suitable for long-term use or for multiple guinea pigs. The included water bottle is leptinable but alternative is suggested

"Love the front access panel, use it more than the top of opening. Easy to take apart and clean. The only real issue i have had is with an accessory."
